Whatsie an unofficial WhatsApp client for linux.

Recently we posted about WhatsApp client of windows PC, now we are posting about WhatsApp client for Linux (but it's unofficial). WhatsApp is very popular messenger around the world so why not have an client for linux too. To fill this gap there is Whatsie, an unofficial WhatsApp web client for Linux. It is open-source and cross-platform available for Linux, Windows and Mac. It offers many features like auto correct, themes, native notifications, etc.

To install Whatsie in your Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and derivatives just hit up terminal and type in following commands:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 1537994D

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/aluxian/deb stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install whatsie

Alternatively you can visit the Project Page to download deb and rpm packages as well as the source code directly. So those who are using Linux can try it out and enjoy WhatsApp web on your Linux system.

Tor Browser 6.0 is here.

Most of us know what tor is and what are it's uses. So good news is new version of tor browser is here. Tor browser 6.0 is available for download from the official site. This browser is based on Firefox 45-ESR.

The Tor Browser Team is proud to announce the first stable release in the 6.0 series. This release is available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.
This release brings us up to date with Firefox 45-ESR, which should mean a better support for HTML5 video on Youtube, as well as a host of other improvements.
Beginning with the 6.0 series code-signing for OS X systems is introduced. This should help our users who had trouble with getting Tor Browser to work on their Mac due to Gatekeeper interference. There were bundle layout changes necessary to adhere to code signing requirements but the transition to the new Tor Browser layout on disk should go smoothly.
The release also features new privacy enhancements and disables features where we either did not have the time to write a proper fix or where we decided they are rather potentially harmful in a Tor Browser context.
On the security side this release makes sure that SHA1 certificate support is disabled and our updater is not only relying on the signature alone but is checking the hash of the downloaded update file as well before applying it. Moreover, we provide a fix for a Windows installer related DLL hijacking vulnerability.

Xposed - a handy dandy framework for great customizations in android

Hi guys,
How are you all? We hope you are all fine and healthy. As we said earlier, we gonna meet everyday with new new stuffs and basics. So today we are going to tell you little about Xposed.

So what is Xposed?
It is a framework for android, which allows user to run many customization modules on the system without need of flashing various mods. All you need to do is install xposed and start downloading modules that you need. After installing modules just activate them from xposed app and reboot your phone. Voila, you just made some changes to your phone and you live your life happily from that time on. Er, about that happy life part there is a slight risk in installing xposed to your phone like your phone can be stuck in bootloop or can show some other side effects. But the risk is very minor.

How to install Xposed?
To install Xposed you need a rooted phone with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. Don't have this? Then you will have to probably do some searching over the internet. You can find tons of tutorials on how to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery. (this will void your warranty so be prepared for it)
you have to download a apk file of Xposed installer and you will also need Xposed sdk file to flash in your phone. All you have to do is install xposed app in phone, copy xposed sdk file to SD card of your phone then reboot into recovery and simply flash it from there. Done, you have installed xposed framework in your phone successfully.
NOTE - This can sometimes mess up your phone badly, so do this on your own risk. We are not liable for any damage occurred to your phone.

After you successfully installed framework, the happy life part starts with lots of customizations for your phone. we will be covering up some cool Xposed modules for you guys in coming days (I think i got a topic for new series :P )

So my brave friends take up your phone and install Xposed framework to open a world full of customizations (but still consider my warning up in the note section before getting very brave). For more information and downloads about Xposed visit Official thread here in XDA. Happy customizing.

We will be back with more things for you, so stay tuned, stay hungry and keep visiting us, like our FB page, follow us on Twitter, and blah blah blah. Till then, Ciao.
