The specs are insane, but you can't use it because the servers it needs to phone home to don't exist yet.
That actually makes the most (if pessimistic) sense: that it's just a dumb network node that connects via subscription and streams the computed result.
Big Ugh
Ughhhhhhhhhhh
RAM is no longer relevant. QSG (Quantum Stacked Gates) is used for both RAM and file storage, being both near infinite (exabytes per gram) and near lightspeed to access. The NVIDIA QWVA (Quantum Wormhole Visual Actuliser) handles the rendering of Virtual Space to my GE neural lace (Perfected by GE after Musk's bankruptcy). The "CPU" is a DQERISC (Decentralized Quantum Entangled RISC) array boasting 64k threads at the equivalent of 8.4PHz.
Only been used off world though, everyone on Earth just uses the Mesh, much faster.
Running Arch with Linux kernel 69.420.9.99.999.999.9999.9999.372 (Linus said "Nice" when it got to 69.420, and died soon after so now it will always keep the same version number) btw.
Society has collapsed.
I bring back slightly big stone and chalk.
By then we won’t own computers, it will be a subscription model only
Regular people can't have them. Might do too much of that damn learnin' on it
Wait. Is WebTV coming back?!?!
And we will be happy*
*Subscription to HappynessXR 60mg not included.
Thoroughly enshittified.
It wants my credit card before it'll even say what its specs are!
I'm 100% going to fuck up the task and accidentally bring back an air fryer or some shit
And that's why you didn't order from AliExpress.
It comes with a code to get 3 free hours of Windows 18!
back in my day Microsoft said Windows 10 was the last version they would make
I am the specs... Corporations own everyone and implanted chips into everyone.
it’s waterproof and the battery is charged by a hand crank on the side
Now that would be an improvement! Actually, if it ran slower that might be an indication that society might finally be getting their shit together.
Also that software devs stopped throwing compute resources at every problem they're meant to solve with, y'know, software engineering.
The OLPC XO-1 can do that, and it came out in 2007.
Assuming they're still using silicon tech, it probably won't be that much better than top of the line laptop from today. Maybe more ram, more cores, more storage, more battery capacity, better screen, but roughly the same single core speed.
Everything will be 30x better, but, while the battery has 30x the capacity, the screen, CPU, and networking chip consume 30x the power, meaning you'll have exactly the same runtime - 4-8hrs, depending on screen brightness and load. The drive will be 30x bigger and faster (IO), but the OS will take up 30x as much space. Everything will be 1024-bit to access all of the RAM, and a simple "Hello World" will take up 512MB. WiFi will be terabit speeds, but now that everything is in 32k, streaming is even slower with buffering lags every 3 minutes. Your 60TB drive can hold 12 movies. Boot times are still in the half-minute range because the OS takes up 120GB of drive space.
But while you were in the future, you saw a person on one of these peak machines running tmux in a tty on Linux, and no display manager.
I wish my work laptop could last 4-8 hours... It dies after one hour on the dot, always has even new. I get about 5 minutes between the low battery alert and it shutting off
They might not be. We're already starting to run into the limits of silicon as it is, and I can't imagine that we can keep pushing it for another 3 decades.
Laptop? How quaint. But my implant that connects me to the Musk Hivemind can project a laptop into my visual cortex to approximate a laptop, though in 2054 the most popular interface is similar to the dildocycle that Mr. Garrison invented on episode 76 of South Park.
I'll take a desktop instead, thank you very much.
Good enough to run the 2054 version of Dwarf Fortress, which is all I care about.
I'm holding something the size of a mobile phone with no screen or buttons. Specs are that it supports up to 400mb/s NNB, or Native Neural Bandwidth.
Fortunately it's the newer wireless model so I don't have to worry about cable management in my hair.
In 2052 Valve released a BCI VR system to compete with Elon Musk's NeuralLink (which requires you to give 8 hours of your body over to Tesla to build the Cybertruck 2 while your mind is free to wander in VR space), and was a breath of fresh air for all the wage slaves working in the AI prompt generation mines. A week before I arrived in 2054, they just put out a teaser trailer for Half-Life 3 and it looks fucking sweet in brain space (that's what people are calling this new form of VR).
I bring back a macbook to piss off OP
It's a Lenovo T450.
They're the only ones that survived the apocalypse.
No current software would run on whatever it has
If it's a Mac it'll somehow be amazing in every regard yet still come with only 8gb of RAM and a 250gb drive.
They finally figured out how to reverse engineer the hardware that generates our simulated universe. We are able to use the "creators" compute cycles. We have "infinite" storage because we cannot comprehend the size of the universe still. Time travel is possible because we are all living in the same compute space. We brought back the uplink tech to see how it affects the simulated future because we are bored. There is no enjoyment to living any more since since everyone has cheat codes and play in creative mode.
