Is the device actually broken, or is the image merely corrupted, where burning a new SSD image will allow you to boot the not-actually-broken device?

I find it unlikely the device is actually broken. The file system, sure...

Yeah, bad title. It just mesesed up the install, device is still fine. Article even contains the fix.

The fix seems to be using some other software or whatever. I think a more important bit of advice that the article should provide is to ensure any data you need to keep should always be backed up.

In truth, this bug was embarrassing and probably annoying, but no worse than garden variety SSD card failures. No 3rd party rescue software is needed if you prepare for the inevitable SSD failures from the start.
