Hi everyone. The other day a client of mine's employees started having issues with the "internet not working". After some detective work with traceroute and interviewing them about what sites they were having issues with, I determined that the actual issue was with the web.whatsapp.com service having downtime. I'm mentioning all this because I'm now thinking of making them a small video/article on our intranet about how to troubleshoot problems like this by themselves. Part of that strategy is deploying WinMTR on their machines so they can run it. I still don't know how I'll verify if it's installed, but maybe checking if it's in the target folder (intend to send it to System32 by creating an Intune package with IntuneWinAppUtil.exe) is a good start. There is a Tracert app on the Appstore but it's paid and I have no idea how one can pay for it in bulk without having each employee put in a credit card. Anyways just wanted to ask what you all are doing for this type of scenarios. Cheers. PS: anyone hiring for Intune/sysadmin type jobs or know where one can find remote jobs for non-US citizens?

I believe web.whatsapp.com is being blocked by local telecom companies in order to protect their duopoly and keep Oman in tech--stone-age. If fewer people know how else the rest of the world uses the internet, then they don't have to make an effort to improve their offerings. Omantel is definitely blocking this web.whatsapp.com.

What's wrong with https://web.whatsapp.com/ ?

Whatsapp (Free) - chat. although some people prefer iMessage and other ones.

use browser for one account https://web.whatsapp.com/ and app for the other

I've received a video via WhatsApp from an untrusted source. I used my personal PC to open the video (via "WhatsApp Web" website). I should mention that I didn't download the video to my PC, I just opened the video online, watched it then closed the web browser.

I have recently moved from iPhone to Pixel 8, and when I try to link a device, for example my browser (web.whatsapp.com) or the windows app, the Whatsapp App on the phone crashes and restarts, and the linking process does not succeed.

on my chrome browser i have linked device https://web.whatsapp.com/ and when i select search button (magnifying glass) i type a word and i can see search is looking for messages... but the search never completes and no messages are found.

Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Hey Thanks!

Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.

I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.

To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.

IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.

On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our series “Building with Tauri”, where we chat with developers who build amazing projects and products using Tauri.

Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

First of all, I will be using npm as my package manager but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Find more info here.

Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
