[Electronics-Talk] poorly designed electronics

[Jude DaShiell]

If it's verizon doing an external update it would be nice if the
corporation would have an announcement come up on text to speech that
it's being temporarily disabled for a system update and have text to
speech do an announcement letting the user know it's back alive again
when that happens.  This may hold true for other corporations as well, I
don't know I'm not filthy rich enough to have their products.
