You missed the fact that its the families PC not just yours. If siblings or parents want to use it they may want to kick you off... that was part of what was built into the question, but I guess I didn't make it clear.

 

EDIT: Maybe you already factored that in, but it wasn't outlined in your response.

I didn't factor that in. But I don't care anyways. 

TBH, if I have an epic PC, I could just hook up some zero clients and make "whole family, 1 CPU", right?

Writing with pen, because you can get those pens that rub out themselves, and you dont need to sharpen all the time.

All the memes in a single day, or 1 meme per day for the rest of your life?

1 meme per day. It's the usual rate I watch memes at.

 

Would you rather have an upgradeable PS3 or a non upgradeable PC?

WYR have a decent rig (i5 4460 or smthing, gtx960) with an unlimited steam wallet, or a massive gaming rig (whatever linus is putting in whatever massive hulking project abomination rig he'll be making next,), with a $100 steam budget/year.

Best PC with a limited Steam wallet. I don't buy many games.

WYR Play a driving game with mouse only, meaning left click is gas and right is break (or similar)

OR Play a shooter with a wheel.

Driving with mouse. That'd be usable, a shooter with a wheel would not.

Now WYR have the most glorious looking pc ever constructed with mid range hardware, or the absolute ugliest pc imaginable with top end hardware? Just solely aesthetics, all hardware works as intended.

Ugly but good PC. Form is good, but function is better.

Laptop with dGPU (like the Gigabyte Aero 14) or desktop without dGPU?

Desktop without dGPU. I think integrated graphics in a high-end desktop is an inherently bad idea, it wastes die space on something that won't be used anyway.

Writing with pen or writing with pencil? 

Pencil. Erasable pens suck and my Rotring 800 is amazing.

 

Would you rather use an ultra-high-end PC with a command-line interface (games and stuff work normally, command line is just the primary interface) or a mid-range PC with a full GUI.

ultra-high-end. I'll figure it out eventually.

 

WYR have a 20,000 mAh extended battery for your phone or a 20,000 mAh external battery pack? (Remember you lose about 33% in a battery pack because of science, I forget why please enlighten me).

20,000 mAh external pack, because SCIENCE!

 

WYR you to use the shittiest peripherals  ever, with the exceptions of a 1080p 60Hz monitor ( not that cruel ), I mean headphones are vomit and feel like putting a rocks on your ears with fishing line as the headband, keyboard feels like typing on water, your mouse scratches the hell out of your already piece of junk mouse pad and the but have the best PC in existence, and will never be up gradable and your peripherals cannot change for 10 years. Or the best keyboard, mouse ect in the world, hell, maybe even engineered to your standards, but a shitty barely 720p 30FPS in every game for 10 years.

20,000 mAh battery pack. My phone is the least of my concerns.

Also, are you referring to energy loss in charging?

If that amazing PC will still be amazing in 2026, then peripherals be damned.

 

Would you rather the PC industry make laptops as customizable and upgradable as current desktops and desktops as locked-down as current laptops, or have them abandon laptops entirely (so basically it's either cheap shit or a Macbook)?

I can't imagine that cuts the effective capacity by a third...

I mean, nothing is perfectly efficient, but I've never heard of it being that big an issue.

the second choice, when I am out and about for work ect. my phone does what I need, I am to busy interacting with people to immerse in a game or deep work on my pc. I like to game when I am home and can zone out everything.

 

Would you rather be with out internet for 1 week and have electricity or have internet for that week and only enough power to run the router, modem and keep your phone/tablet charged and usable?

If I can keep my 14-inch notebook charged, then no power.

If not... Well, I have no tablet and I can't imagine using my phone like that, so no internet I guess... I could get some work done or something...

 

Would you rather have to learn how to design and build your own components and never be able to buy another off-the-shelf CPU, GPU, or any other component again, or have to have someone else build and maintain your machine from now on and have no idea what's inside it?

Let's assume you can make your parts as good as companies can, though let's also assume it's a prohibitively difficult and laborious process.

I'd make it myself because I can sell it and make a ton of money.

 

WYR have a mid-range phone and a budget phone backup, or have a flagship phone.

"Let's also assume it's a prohibitively difficult and laborious process." -(quoted from my post)

Meaning the amount of work you do is disproportionately large compared to the money you would gain.

Flagship, I don't really need a backup...

 

Would you rather have the collective knowledge of Google or have access to an omniscient Google?

WYR 3 4k displays with a 210 or a 720p display with a x1650 pro (no upgrading gpu/changing monitors)

So, an amazing display setup with an old GPU or a worse display setup with an even older GPU?

... Um, triple 4k I guess, since I'd like to have Nvidia go through the trouble of tweaking and printing out that chip again just have it support three 4K panels.

 

Would you rather your PC have a magical wireless chip that can communicate using any protocol (so it can connect to any device) but not be able to use cables, or have to use cables for everything?

(The wireless card doesn't have magical speed or reliability, just universality.)

I would rather have a mouse with them macro keys and be a camper at csgo all day.

 

Would you rather get a blue screen every 2 hours or get a blue screen randomly within every 4 hours(hehe).

I would rather get a blue screen every 2 hours since it's more predictable to save my work. 

Would you rather have a keyboard that changes it's layout every half hour or have your screen rotate itself every half hour.

Monitor, get a rotatable monitor arm. Also my touch typing would get completely shafted by a change in keyboard layout.

Would you rather have to use a randomly generated password the length of a college essay, or have to solve a Rubik's cube every time you log on to something?

This is essentially "Would you rather your machine be possibly damaged, or just flat out dead?"

So... I'd rather it take a fall, obviously.

Either way, I'd have to have some sort of vengeance to just snap my motherboard in half, given that it's in the middle of the machine firmly secured to a steel plate which is firmly secured to a steel frame. I've gotta wonder what it could do to piss me off like that.

 

Would you rather have an Android phone running IOS or an iPhone running Android?

Would you rather be able to upgrade your monitor any time you wanted to but be unable to upgrade your graphics hardware or be able to upgrade your graphics hardware any time you wanted to but be unable to upgrade your monitor?

 

TLDR: Monitor upgrades + no GPU upgrades OR GPU upgrades + no monitor upgrades

No monitor upgrades, I'm perfectly fine with my IPS 1080p monitor.

No mobile because I use PC

WYR get a virus whenever you download a program and be able to use malwarebytes, or randomly get a virus whenever and have to wait a week to remove it
