[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Sense #3: "(computing) To cause a component to be unbootable." Something that is unbootable cannot be booted (suggesting that it has lost that capability and been permanently damaged; compare brick). If this verb exists, I suspect the definition might be different, more along the lines of temporarily unloading or unmounting, rather than removing the capability.

I found a use where it seems to mean "shut down (a computer)" but not this. RFV-failed This, that and the other (talk) 23:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
