Reading Whatsapp messsages without blue ticks

Many of you have probably encountered this scenario: you received a message that you so desperately want to read, yet you do not want to let the sender know that you have read it, and you do not want to disable the read receipt (blue tick) functionality of Whatsapp off either.

So you go on the internet to search for the way to do it, and most of the pages you discovered mention tricks that do not work anymore and all these searching and reading just fuel your curiosity even more.

And you come across this page, at the time of writing 13/01/2018, this page provides the verified working way to read that message without blue tick, so read on

Requirement:


  • Mobile phone with wifi connected and Airplane Mode function
  • Computer capable of opening whatsapp web
  • Optionally firewall capable blocking all network connection installed in the computer

Procedure:

  1. Open Whatsapp in your mobile phone
  2. Ensure the chat message that you want to "peek" is not in Archive
  3. Open web Whatsapp: https://web.whatsapp.com/
  4. Go to Web Whatsapp in your mobile phone and follow the instruction there
  5. Scan the code in web Whatsapp using your phone.
  6. Let it establish web Whatsapp in the browser and the phone, give it few seconds to load all the messages.
  7. Turn on Airplane Mode in the mobile phone
  8. Turn on firewall in the computer and block all network connection, alternatively just pull the network plug or disable wifi
  9. Select the message you want to read, it should be displayed fully in your Web Whatsapp
  10. Close the Web Whatsapp once you have finished reading it
  11. Restore your network connection or plug back your network cable or enable wifi
  12. Turn off Airplane Mode in the mobile phone
  13. Verify that the message is still marked as unread in the Whatsapp of the mobile phone

Tips:


  • Web Whatsapp only loads recent messages, meaning if you are trying to read old unread messages, it probably won't show up using the above trick
  • In order to read old unread messages, you will need to trick the Whatsapp into thinking that the message is now, simply by changing your phone system date and time to the day the old unread message is received before executing the above trick, should do the trick

Spring Boot 2: Parallelism with Spring WebFlux

Spring Boot 2: Parallelism with Spring WebFlux Parallelism is rather unusual in Spring application, however when we encounter the need of HITLOL (HIgh Throughput LOw Latency), we need ways to make async calls. With Spring Boot 1, in high level definition, we can declare async on all the functions that are meant to be parallel and return Futures from there. Here is more detailed info:  https://medium.com/sipios/how-to-make-parallel-calls-in-java-springboot-application-and-how-to-test-them-dcc27318a0cf For Spring Boot 2, we shall employ Spring WebFlux libraries to accomplish parallelism. Mainly focused on functions: Mono.zipDelayError(), Mono.subscribeOn() and Mono.onErrorResume() The main function that drives the parallelism is zipDelayError(), the purpose of zipDelayError() as supposed to using zip() is to enable the other Monos to run to completion even if one Mono failed. AllDtos allDtos = Mono. zipDelayError (Arrays. asList (firstDto , secondDto , (Mono&l

Implementing gRPC Using Spring Boot and Gradle Background GRPC (gRPC) is a RPC framework pioneered by google later on made public and open source. GRPC has not been officially supported by Spring Framework, so far there are few community libraries that can work seamlessly with Spring Boot. In this article, I will use the lognet's grpc-spring-boot-starter. Project Structure Ideally, the proto files for gRPC is located in another directory, which will then be accessed by the gradle plugin to auto generate the required files.   Gradle Script The heart of gRPC enablement lies on the grpc boot starter, which includes few other tasks outlined as below. https://github.com/overtakerx/grpcbootdemo/blob/main/build.gradle Few important note: first you have to run gradlew compileJava for the auto generation to generate the files from the proto file, then you will need to rebuild the project for Intellij to recognise the auto-generated files. Full demo: https://github.com/overtakerx/grpcbootdem

Cucumber + Junit5 + Localstack

Background What are the options to test an Amazon lambda that interacts with Dynamo DB locally? To be honest, there are several options, such as using Mockito, using stubs, swapping Dynamo DB with Mongo DB, however none of these truly replicate the amazon lambda and dynamo db ecosystem. Enter Localstack  ( https://github.com/localstack/localstack ), open source project that aims to emulate a local AWS cloud stack. With its docker version, we could spin up localstack and push our lambda and create our table in the dynamodb. To further increase its testing prowess, Localstack comes up with utils to integrate with Junit 4 and 5. Now we have the tools to create a BDD test using Cucumber, JUnit5 and Localstack as you can see below. Do note that due to the open source nature of localstack, it has several bugs that we manage to get around Prereq: Docker images: localstack/localstack:0.9.1 Note that the latest version of localstack docker image has bugs with the service port nu
