The guy is talking about hours to fix his bricked box... Whats he doing with it that takes hours? Talk to the box to get things running spontanious again?

I did not mean to hurt anyone's feeling.

 

When I say "hours", I mean "hours". Although it did not happen to me, because I follow the forum, I read that some recent update bricked some DM second stage and the only workaround is to use a serial cable (which I don't have) and some DMM driver on a Windows PC (I use a Mac). So in such a case, yes, it would take hours to go to the store and purchase a USB to serial cable, install some stupid driver on an old Windows PC (the only Windows machine I still have) and then perform the restore operation.

 

In the case of today's update, it effectively took me only a few minutes to flash a new image which automatically retrieved the settings I had backed up before. In fact, it took longer to reboot than to reflash
