> it was bricked remotely because it couldn’t communicate with the manufacturer’s servers.
That bit seems inaccurate... if it couldn't communicate it wasn't bricked *remotely*... it was more like digital seppuku.

Earlier in the article he says that he only disabled some of the network connections but he left open the ones for firmware updates and stuff so to me it's not impossible that it was able to receive remote commands although I would certainly want to see more technical details to satisfy my curiosity. The article says in words that it was a remote command. But again, we don't have any details supporting that description. So maybe the journalist got it wrong.
