Whatsapp is slowly rolling out support to hide the “Last Seen Time” infomation on Whatsapp. Below are the different ways you can do that(or atleast fake it).

IOS:

Whatsapp for IOS has already updated to a version which has the feature of hiding the “Last Seen Status”. Update to the latest version of Whatsapp and then you can activate it in the following way:

  1. Open WhatsApp and Goto ‘Settings’
  2. Goto ‘Advanced’ page
  3. Turn off the ‘Last Seen Timestamp’

Android:

This feature is available on Whatsapp for Android from the version 2.11.169 onwards. You can get the latest version of the app here: http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Once you have the app and have installed it, here is how to activate the feature:

  1. Open Whatsapp and in the Menu Goto ‘Settings’
  2. Goto ‘Accounts’
  3. Goto ‘Privacy’
  4. Here you can disable the ‘Last Seen’ time.

 

Other Manual Hacks:

Disabling your Wifi & Data connection before opening your Whatsapp window makes sure your Last Seen time doesnt get updated.

Fixing USB Keyboard & Mouse Boot Problems in Ubuntu

Sometimes on startup, Ubuntu does not recognize my USB Keyboard & Mouse. This problem is frustrating as Windows seems to recognize them.

It took me a while to recognize the root of the problem was with the USB 3.0 ports on the Motherboard. By moving the usb connections to the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard this problem was solved.

Problem: USB Keyboard and Mouse dont work on boot up.
Solution: Move the connectors to the devices from a standard USB 3.0 port to standard USB 2.0 port(check with your motherboard manual for specifics)
