A wide range of things, but they'd have to learn them or figure them out the hard way, and depending on the GM, might have worse penalties in some things, like information-gathering abilities.

Yours is a pure 'give me knowledge' build; it's great for that, but pretty much only for that. Apart from anything that I may be forgetting because opening up GURPS Powers right now would be just inconvenient enough that I'd prefer not to, the lack of Control or a similar advantage would mean higher penalties to the power stunts that are too far away from 'information-gathering abilities.' Depending on the GM, some things that drift too far from 'get data' would just not be allowed.
