I do not think "bricked" means what you think it means.

Good. Anyone dumb enough to buy a "smart bed" deserves to have it bricked.

Edit: disappointed they aren't actually getting bricked. Just temporarily inoperable. Boo

Why do so many things need to be smart? I don't want smart appliances. I want my appliances to be on academic probation.
