Thought this was interesting in the same way I thought the nexus 7 bricking was interesting

looks like lollipop is now bricking the Nexus 9 tablets which would suggest at least to me that Googles software is the culprit for all the bricking lately and the hardware of everything is probably fine.
Again it's 5.0.2 doing the damage if your beyond that which I'm sure almost everyone is it's probably nothing to worry about well apart from Google not taking responsibility for their buggy updates.
