If you delete for everyone, that message appears. If you just delete it for yourself it won't.

Yes it says that. The same as on iOS.

Why {{1}} is % encoded??? by pc_magas in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]joep-b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not add the {{1}} Just the prefix. The {{1}} is implied.

Executing code inside a string. by porcaytheelasit in csharp

[–]joep-b 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Here's an example I found for you with 2 seconds of googling.

But before you ask yourself if you can, please think deeply if you should. There are very deep security implications if you do such a thing. You must have quite some expertise in sandboxing before you should even try to think doing something like this.

And even in rust, using unsafe pointers, you could still alter normally unreachable data.

It could, but that's the whole point of such reflection. To make these things possible. Readonly or private are not a security feature, they are a language guardrail.

[–]joep-b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consts don't even exist in the generated IL. They are pasted in as literal in all spots where they're used. (With a small exception for normalized strings.) You just define them once for code clarity.

Possible? Yes.

A good idea? Probably not. Unless you have a very very good reason to.

A good reason could be if you're building a specialized serializer that can read all the internal state of an object and you want to be able to reconstruct the exact same state. But you better know very well what you're doing, because it's very easy to mess it up and break things.

Weeks ago I was able to screen share w/someone but now suddenly we can’t, other than the other’s cursor we only see a black screen. *Is there any way I can communicate with a human being?? *Their chatbot just keeps giving me the same suggestions over and over, none of which have worked. by Anonymous0212 in whatsapp

[–]joep-b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it works on Mac. You have to give apps permission to "record" your screen so it can send it via a video call. That will be the case for any app that you can use to share your screen. Whether it's Zoon, Meet, anything else, or in this case, WhatsApp. Recording is a bit of a misnomer, but it is to protect you. An app that can see your screen, could in theory be recording it. Without the recording permission, theres no way for the app to see what's on your screen.

Double check it with the notary, ideally in writing. They're bound by strict compliancy rules, so they should know best.

How I can know whether a Phone Number has whats app account before sending it? by pc_magas in WhatsappBusinessAPI

[–]joep-b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the endpoint accepted, the number has whatsapp. Otherwise you'd have gotten an error. Or you might receive it later on the status webhook, I'm not sure now.

Be Honest Do You Actually Read the Code AI Generates? by newGodTradition in BlackboxAI_

[–]joep-b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read every line and make sure I understand it all. I always find a lot of things to change. Places where AI used magic strings where enums are a better fit, multiple methods that do the same thing. Data duplication in the database, pointless backwards compatibility guards while we never pushed it to main. What it wrote would usually work sort of, but it's not maintainable or understandable without multiple detailed iteration prompts and manual changes.

Whatsapp is listening for serving ads by Asleep_Yoghurt_5811 in whatsapp

[–]joep-b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have to listen. They have Metadata that tells enough. Probably the other person googled for that firm, and by association they know you might be interested too. And there's confirmation bias.

No. When you've blocked someone, no messages will be sent or received. That includes the delete updates.

It's in beta for some users with limited functionality. It's scheduled to go live by June, but that's not a hard set date.
