Some kind of general pain suppression.
You could turn it off, if you're into that and sometimes pain let's you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.

A monkeys tail! Third hand, balancing, grabbing, etc.
Speak any Human language
Similar to this, or perhaps in obtaining it, perfect memory recall and retention
A magnum dong to go with my magnum condoms.
throws Shadowrun 2 street samurai catalog on table
This.
arms. hate my current arms and could greatly benefit from sci fi ones
I used to think a future with cyborgs would be pretty cool but personally, I'm not so hot on the idea anymore. The problem is that you would be beholden to whichever corporation or government manufactures and pays for parts. And who is to say that the support for whichever product that you've surgically implanted will be for life, and that you won't end up with useless landfill electronics sewed up inside of you.
Personally I think that if AI was ever made with altruistic purposes, that could fill the role of things like complex calculations and extra memory or a log. And good Augmented Reality could fill the role of interacting directly with entertainment and blocking out the outside world. And maybe one day there would be effective ways of interacting directly with computers through electrodes or even wirelessly. Although who knows how our privacy would be invaded then. There could be literal thought police in that case.
The problem is that the tech will always come from someone else. Imagine integrating this kind of tech into your life on such a deep level and then the person in charge of over seeing and maintaining this tech turns out to be an authoritarian nazi.
You mean like our real-life situation with Neuralink and the new Nazi called Elon Musk?
I would want a body pocket of at least 100 cmΒ³, some volume controler for ears, and (personnal interest) a fully engineerable right eye
Cyborg butthole
A brainchip would be amazing. But realistically no corporation should be in your head.
This would enable real life language translation, internet functions, scanning, a hud of vitals etc.
joints that don't wear down over time
Volume control for the ears, with equalizer, decibel normalizer, and active noise cancelling.
As someone with misophonia, this is the one augment that will have me standing in line to be among the first to sign up. I would love nothing more than to be able to mute my girlfriend's annoying birds and their stupid repetitive screaming.
All those features you mentioned, plus the ability to focus my ears on specific sounds while eliminating the rest. Sign me the fuck up.
Active noise cancelling for this fucking tinnitus would be a godsend
Improved eye (singular), a second thumb on right hand, internal physical storage, modular left arm with power tool extensions, a nose and jawline that are very clearly technological but don't do anything else, and a set of integrated wheelies
Mechanical βeyesβ that correct my vision.
I want to give birth to our techno overlord's robot babies.
None cause if I have to blast all the synths out there I donβt wanna lose pieces or, worse yet, die
I wanna see the hype about regular colour. Iβve got red green blue yellow colourblindness. I wanna see how things are meant to be coloured.
You only see greyscale? O_o
New skin. It doesnβt need to be fancy, just no more scars and a better fit.
Fancy skin wishlist:
extreme cum
Are we talking volume or velocity
Ghost pepper flavor
Is your tolerance upgraded as well or is this a mutually assured destruction situation
yea
I've often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone's name or what exactly happened when.
Full cyborgisation. Just not one made by any capitalist entity.
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?
Typing in integrals gets old rather quickly
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.
Ability to any calculations in my head at all would be nice, now that I think about it.
