After our friends from AndroidTR found out some resources in the new update of WhatsApp for Android I wanted to go deeper and analyze the iOS version to see if it was prepared to handle GIFs as well.

In the last update of WhatsApp for iOS (version 2.16.7) there are the same three new GIF glyphs found in Android and two more for what it seems to be Live Photos support.

Then in the proper binary executable there are a lot of new methods designed to handle GIFs. They even have created a new Class WAGIFCreator which seems to allow to create GIFs from scratch with various images or a video.

It seems this feature is complete, but the WhatsApp team has to enable it remotely as they have previously done with other capabilities like E2E Encryption.

Coursera is a MOOC platform with thousands of courses from different universities and institutions. These are some I have found very interesting:

• Cryptography I from Standford University
• Software Security from University of Maryland
• Computer Networks from University of Washington
• Cryptography from University of Maryland
• Fundamentals of Digital Image and Video Processing from Northwestern University

Siguiendo estas instrucciones se puede recuperar el acceso de administrador de un Mac sin eliminar otras cuentas o borrar el disco. Este método no funcionará si el disco duro está cifrado con FileVault 2.

• Reiniciar el Mac.
• Antes de escuchar el sonido de arranque hay que pulsar Comando+S para entrar en modo terminal.

• Desde la línea de comandos borramos el archivo .AppleSetupDone para que OS X ejecute la pantalla de bienvenida la próxima vez que reiniciemos:

    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
  

• Finalmente sólo hay que encender de nuevo el Mac y crear una cuenta.

Tras 7 anos, o dominio .gal xa é unha realidade:

Nic.gal convertiuse onte pola noite no primeiro dominio de puntoGAL activado pola ICANN, o organismo internacional que xestiona os dominios da rede a nivel mundial.

Tras máis de 7 anos de traballo e coas sinaturas de apoio de doce mil cidadáns e 110 entidades, a posta en marcha desta primeira páxina, de caracter técnico e para probas, supón a delegación formal do dominio e a culminación dun longo proceso apoiado por toda a sociedade galega.

Como todos os novos dominios haberá un prazo inicial para que as administracións públicas, organizacións galegas e marcas poidan rexistrar o seu dominios antes do público xeral.
