You're dusting out your grandmothers PC when a genie pops out. It gives you three wishes but since it's a tech genie they have to be tech related wishes.

What do you wish for?

I wish for everyone who creates or profits from clickbait, spam, and rage-bait blog/news (both SJW and other angles) to die an incredibly painful death

I wish for everyone to realize how great things were before they got ruined, and for them to realize it so strongly that they start striving to get back to the golden age of the internet, technology development, and design

Then I wish for a quantum computer that can mine five buttcoins per second

Practically useless for what I want to use my PC for. Even liquid cooling needs to dump the heat somehow.

1. An idea for a program or technology I can create, patent or sell that would be very profitable.
2. A time machine.
3. Another tech genie.

Are you too young to remember Pentium 4? AMD was leagues ahead at the time, and had to label their Athlons with numbers approximating the Intel clock speeds it performed like. Otherwise everyone would buy a 3 GHz P4 over a ~2 GHz Athlon that was superior.

Kind of doubt it, the RFID chips would store medical/criminal/place of residence information which only government officials could see. Of course it would all be optional, nobody would be forced to get one. They would obviously be encrypted by AES-256 or better.

>Why 1? Intel GPUs can be pretty good these days, at least if you don't want to game.
They still blow (even for non-vydia use) and I don't want any more people falling for the intel hd graphics meme anymore.

It's not an RFID that's gonna spy on you, just identify you and like I said only government officials would be able to read one.

I think about this a lot, just not the tech flavor.
1) I wish that, following the completion of my three wishes, the utmost desires, if any, possessed by the Genie, to the extent that my own wishes are not impeded in any way and the repercussions of this wish cannot be such that I, when of sound mind, find them regrettable, be made a reality. (this softens him up and puts him in a good mood)

2) The technology to modify this reality in any way I so desire

3) The form and medium of the technology wished for in wish 2 will be in the form and medium that, out of all potential forms and mediums, I would, when of sound mind, find most desirable

pro tip: if you ever run into a malevolent wish granting genie, the phrase "out of all potential _____, I would, when of sound mind, find most desirable" is pretty much solid

What the fuck are you doing that an Intel GPU can't handle. If it's HD video rendering or CAD, then yes you do need a dedicated GPU, but those aren't common use cases. Intel GPUs use a lot less power and do everything most people need apart from games.

>It's not an RFID that's gonna spy on you, just identify you and like I said only government officials would be able to read one.
This is exactly the problem. Sure they need to be close to you to read it, but any way you implement it, it can be done fairly covertly.

Your SEO filter appears on your new golden masterrace PC. You realize the technology's potential and realize the genie's source to the public creating a totally free search engine. You provoke the wrath of the genie in your sharing of his power, but you allude all his attempts on your life until you're old and modestly wealthy. When you're ready you reveal yourself to the genie, and he takes your hand into the computed beyond.

>>54228570
all three wishes are granted. the world begins to stagnate as people yearn for the past. no new meaningful technology is developed and people become increasingly concerned about their futures, pushing to even further replication. your quantum computer remains the fastest computer available until you're 53 and its quantum mechanics cause a program you're running to randomly send spam emails containing Huffington Post articles. They award you three rupees for your shilling and you die an incredibly painful death.

>>54228577
The genie hands you your GPU and then brings you to your local Home Depot and shows you the fans and filters section.

Your wish is granted, you enter into a downloading frenzy getting all the latest applications. Over time the software landscape becomes extremely fragmented, with the best pieces of software becoming nearly impossible to find. They are only shared by select circles of friends who are predominately jewish and you are never allowed to witness spectacular modern software.

The genie grants you the idea of the Linux kernel. It would be very profitable. You get your time machine but before you can use it the new genie appears. The presence of two powerful genies in the same area is extremely unstable and the new genie kills the old and his time machine creation.

The genie smiles at your first wish and then simply asks for your next two wishes. His utmost desires are to hear your wishes and see if he is capable of granting them. Upon hearing your second wish his smile disappears. He waits to he your third wish before granting it, upon hearing the third wish he closes your eyes and places his finger on your forehead. You feel his touch for but an instant then awake to find yourself chained and covered in lightless flames. The pain is horrendous, and you restlessly toss and turn attempting to go back to sleep. When you finally find sleep again you dream. You are able to alter the world around you in anyway, but it is not only you who can modify this reality. A man follows you, he has red eyes, carries a dagger and constantly licks his lips. He torments in every way imaginable, killing you, raping you, stealing those you love with soft words. You remain in this state forever and are never able to escape his pursuit. In one dream the genie reappears and tells you he is greatly sorry. He informs you there are no malevolent genies but only malevolent wishes. He hands you a crossbow to fight the red-eyed man, but you never find the courage to shoot it.

The solution is scribbled in front of you. The answer is just as you thought but the elegance is breathtaking, its sheer simplicity causes you to question its truth. You never publish your solution or collect the prize but look at it from time to time when you're feeling down. You eventually show it to one of your grandchildren who becomes a prodigal computer scientist.

The magic pi appears in front of you. It is wrapped and pink and feels cool to the touch even while it is running. You decide to test its abilities and ask it "What is my fortune?"

Your pi finally finishes its calculations as it sits in an otherwise empty box in the future: "Your fortune is death."
