English is an official, relatively widely spoken language in India. The Indian dialect is separate and distinct from British English, much the same way Australian English is its own thing.
Furthermore, almost nobody would think Indian English sounds like Upper-Middle-Class UK, and people in the UK often find Indian accents distinct from their own, and perhaps even difficult to understand.
Well the mods in question are all things like "replace all the voice lines with William Shatner quotes." You can't blame the game maker for not including that with the game as shipped.
Why should all of humanity's dreams change in 60 years? Aren't something universal? "Better food through science" has been one of mankind's goals since the Neolithic age or so.
I agree it's an advantage...on the other hand, T-Mobile in Paris, Italy, and Mexico were all incredibly spotty and often slow for me. I often didn't have reception at all, or had so little that it was incredibly slow just to use Google Maps or Translate.
If reception abroad is a selling point, you're better off not even bothering with T-Mobile's free service. It's not expensive to get a temporary foreign roaming pass with any carrier.
I'm on T-Mobile unlimited, and I use 5-15 GB of data/month, and never get throttled. The fine print actually says " Customers who use more than 26GB of data in a bill cycle will have their data usage de-prioritized compared to other customers for that bill cycle at locations and times when competing network demands occur, resulting in relatively slower speeds."
You are old and so you think desktop computers are still basically a good idea. I don't even know anybody who has a desktop computer at home. Buying one now is a solution looking for a problem. Sure, VR will have hefty system requirements that right now a desktop computer is best for. But if VR becomes big, tying the system to a desktop computer is inevitably a temporary measure. You'd want something self-contained.
You don't actually use word processors, I'm guessing. LibreOffice can't even do the most basic formatting correctly, it's so brain dead. It's a fine free option for people who just need to write a letter a few times a year. For anything more, it's painful. I hate Windows but give Office its due, even a decade-old version of Office is far better than LO.
You know how people complain about businesses being short-sighted, they're only interested in profits for the next quarter? Actually, Tesla (and many other technology companies) are interested in long-term profits.
If they just wanted to make profits over the short term, they wouldn't be spending so much money to expand their company.
and we are rapidly reaching a point where that Internet connection might be provided wirelessly without the knowledge or consent of the owner. Uhhh....so don't give the TV your wifi password? Are TV apps really "dangerous"??? Your post is predicated on nonsense that even a small child could see through.
There's apps that let your phone do this, and you can buy LCD remotes. 95% of people don't bother, because remotes are easier to hold, easier to use, and have tactile feedback.
Why would they bother? What would be the motivation, when you can just assume that the user has an internet connection? While they're at it, why not program it in case the user doesn't have a monitor?
Obviously they are not going to be able to do a massive double-blind study of astronauts (preferably clones) all sent to space, all at the same time. There has to be an elimination of unimportant variables.

So everybody in the industry is a psychopath, and we're about to have all entertainment be some alternate reality version of Jar-Jar Binks? Only on Slashdot would this great pile of nonsense be rated insightful.

Well, to quote wikipedia:
Input-output planning was never adopted because the material balance system had become entrenched in the Soviet economy, and input-output planning was shunned for ideological reasons. As a result, the benefits of consistent and detailed planning through input-output analysis was never realized in the Soviet-type economies.

Awesome, you won a reward! What was it?

LOL you never use more than 2GB of data.
I guess it would be free if you didn't use any at all, but that's hardly a typical use case.
But do you really not give a fuck/rat's ass/shit (so edgy, you must be 53 but you talk like a 12 year old boy) about the trademark?
If it wasn't Pokemon, would you even care about this game?
I pay for 25 and get 90. Comcast internet is great.

Every TV is a monitor. You don't need to use the built in apps or the built-in tuner; a lot of people don't.
Why would they bother? What would be the motivation, when you can just assume that the user has an internet connection? While they're at it, why not program it in case the user doesn't have a monitor?
I'll never be happy until the XBox One lets you install Steam.
I know it won't happen so I plan on a life of unhappiness :(...
"Serious Business Torrenting" - I'll file that one next to "Jumbo Shrimp" and "Family Vacation."

Windows 10 joke! Classic!
Ha, maybe they will be running systemd, so we'll have plenty of time to respond!
And, have you ever noticed that they park on driveways, and drive on parkways?

Also he probably doesn't speak Chinese.
Holy shit they used insecure internet! Isn't that grounds for a felony?
Your wife doesn't seem to mind.
