Ask HN: What to do with an infinite computer

Hypothetical question:

If you had an infinite computer (infinite RAM, no lattency, infinite cores, and infinite clock) what would you do with it that you can't do today (for example, which NP problem would you do first?)

How do you defend against it? For example one time pad, stop using digital tools, etc

    Wouldn't it be much more exciting to discuss actual physical limits of computation? Something like https://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/revcomp/physlim/ ?
