What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life? (lemmy.world)

I don't have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn't choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to "hear" music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn't even be upgraded hearing or anything.

So do y'all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?

A math coprocessor would be nice. Ability to instantly know the answer to equations I see, and ability to do large calculations in my head.

Also, some sort of interface port where I could upload skills or information, matrix-style. And it would have to be a physical port, no fucking way I'd want that available wirelessly.

Where would that be a significant upgrade over entering the numbers on a calculator?

No time-delay for inputting the numbers, ability to process any calculation (which calculators can't), and no need to carry an actual calculator around.

Typing in integrals gets old rather quickly

Ability to any calculations in my head at all would be nice, now that I think about it.
