I mostly need to learn how to change motherboard and psu capacitors, so what you think should be the best guide about it?

I know that I will need to spend time on it but simply going straight into soldering without any knowledge is pointless.
I was wondering what people thought was the best algorithm for solving mazes is? I'm doing some coding challenges for school and wanted to explore.
Also any code samples would be interesting (python)?
Depth First Search is probaby the easiest example for auto maze solving.
The A^n algorithm is the most efficient
>>56996188
ive been looking at different examples, and trying to understand how to fit it to a binary maze seems difficult. do you have any examples?
>>56996220
Well depth first search can be easily implemented because you would just look for which adjacent edge has a 1 and then put that on the stack.
Only issue I can think of is how to mark the path as VISITED, because once the algorithm reaches a dead end, it goes back until it has another value on the stack that isn't marked VISITED.
A^n is supposed to be given a start point and end point and it searches every possible route simultaneously. So it probably will not work in binary mazes.
Even after sale for chineses? Looks like their don't give a shit for privacity, so it's time to change my browser?
>>56996004
The whole VPN feature they added is because privacy, anon.
First, the deal with the Chinese isn't over, the acquisition hasn't been completed yet.
Second, ever if the acquisition succeeds, the company will still be Norwegian, the developer team will still be from there, and the software will still be regulated by Norwegian laws.
Safe to use? Yes. Opera has been a respectful company over all these years.

/g/ i was visiting my uncle and i found this device in his house. i was wondering if anyone knows what this is .
>>56995901
It's a Spooky2-XM Generator. You blind?
>>56995920
i saw it had a spooky ghost on it. but what do it do ?
Recently phones are having more cores for processing (iPhone 7 quad core processor) ( Most often Android phones with at least dual cores or more) soon will they go the route where they choose hyper threading or more cores like intel and AMD did ? or does that seem like a dumb option because im probably missing something here like " a phone can't handle hyperthreaded performance on a phone." or something like that.
They'll just keep cramming more cores. ARM doesn't do hyperthreading. Anyway there's already a few 8 core phones.
with hyperthreading it can mostly increase more compute perfomance as we see with hyperthreaded CPU from Intel and AMD is somewhat going with that route with the New "Zen" line up. Also if hyperthreading is already implemented is there some form of directX12 route for phones where they use more multicore performance "rather than having core 0 doing most of the work" and have the rest do nothing. PC has this issue with world of tanks for Some processors.
>>56995805
is there a modified variation of ARM that allows hyperthreading?

Why do people act as if "4k" is something new?
10 year old computers had 4k monitors.
>>56995426
>The IBM T220 and T221 are LCD monitors sold between 2001 and 2005, with a native resolution of 3840×2400 pixels (WQUXGA) on a screen with a diagonal of 22.2 inches (564 mm). This works out as over 9.2 million pixels, with pixel density of 204 pixels per inch (80 dpcm, 0.1245 mm pixel pitch), much higher than contemporary computer monitors (about 100 pixels per inch) and approaching the resolution of print media. The display family was nicknamed "Big Bertha" in some trade journals. Costing around $8400 in 2003, the displays saw few buyers.
>$8400

so basically the price point and having to use a magnifying glass to use it?
I've always wanted one of those. By the way, does anyone know what DE is that? I can't recognize it.
It's 2016 and you haven't hacked a nuclear plant?
What's wrong with you? Are you.... chicken??

who says I haven't?

Tell me more wise one
hacking and getting an iranian nuclear scientist to install a military worm from a usb he found in a parking lot onto a centrifuge network....
...nevermind.
Why doesn't my vim look like this?
>>56995398
I mean, with the bar at the bottom.
Also, how the fuck do I add color schemes.
Because you need airline, jellybeans colors (I think) and some 1337 h4x0r terminal font.

Is 4k blu ray the final format we'll ever need?
I mean most films are mastered at 4k. I don't think there's a point in going into a higher resolution. HDR is a meme.
So is this it? Can I finally start my definitive collection of films?
>>56995185
>HDR
I thought HDR was a color thing.......
>>56995185
> "the" final format

What is the "cost" of internet? It's just sending signals from one place to another, right? So why do data caps exist, and why does my ISP charge me more for fast internet?
Do they need better infrastructure for it? More powerful servers? Does it give them a higher electricity bill?
Because they can squeeze more money out of you that way.
>>56995036
look up a cost of a single enterprise switch or a router, then include a salary for someone to maintain it, add license fees and taxes.
providing internet access costs immense amounts of money, and ISP's are not trying to milk money out of customers on purpose, they're doing it to stay afloat.
>What is the "cost" of internet? It's just sending signals from one place to another, right?
Routing hardware, underground cabling, and bandwidth to an ISP's uplink.
Your (consumer) ISP pays another ISP in order to connect to them and peer with the world. This is true until you get big enough that everyone wants to peer with you instead, then you don't have to pay anyone else.
>So why do data caps exist
Because your ISP oversold their capacity and doesn't want to pay more for more bandwidth/hardware.
>and why does my ISP charge me more for fast internet?
Their bandwidth is a finite resource and they don't want to pay for more hardware/cabling/infrastructure.
>Do they need better infrastructure for it?
Yes. But they're cheap, or as is quite often the case, they're using legacy cabling that can't be easily replaced or is owned by someone else that they're renting.
>More powerful servers?
Yes, as your network expands, you need to use more powerful servers in order to administrate it.
>Does it give them a higher electricity bill?
Of course it does.
How to WM?

Fuck DEs seriously, I am done with them.
Post some screens so I can see how beautiful your setups are.

If you really want a stacking WM (I mean, you REALLY want one), get a *Box (openbox, fluxbox, etc), they're the lightest stacking WM around
I remember a website on drugs as technology and technology as drugs, that talked about how you could open your brain to it's potential using various drugs.
Found it through an explanation of the "Serial Experiments Lain" series that was also hosted on the site.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Can't remember what the site was.
Never mind I found it, the lain page wasn't hosted on the site, rather the lain page linked to it.
It was http://deoxy.org/ if you're interested.
You should check out lainchan. I think you'd like it.

Thanks man I'll be checking that out.
