Dymo.com website crashes under traffic and cannot serve patched file download.

From the site :

We are sorry to inform you that at the moment we are experiencing some issues with printing from our latest versions of DYMO Software on Windows 10 computers.As the issue is caused by the latest Windows update, please download DYMO Label Software v.8.5.4. Please make sure that the current version of the software is uninstalled first.

Cause is March 9th Update 5000802


Wait, doesn't "bricked" imply an unrecoverable failure?

If users just have to wait until they can download a new version of the software, their label printers are not bricks.
