A number of WhatsApp updates have been rolled out recently and more may be rolled out to users in the very near future that will help to boost their experience immensely and help impress their friends, family and colleagues at work. These WhatsApp updates include the ability to hide personal information from specific contacts, transfer chats from Android devices to iOS devices, customise the disappearing chats setting and send photos in high resolution. These WhatsApp features will bring a number of benefits to users and allow them a greater degree of privacy, flexibility while switching platforms and upgrade the overall experience on the app. These are the features you can expect to see on WhatsApp in the future. High-quality WhatsApp photosWhatsApp has over 2 billion active users, making it the most widely used messaging platform in the world. That means the load on its servers is massive indeed. WhatsApp deals with it by compressing media like videos and photos in order to make sure the system does not crash and messages are delivered reliably. We have previously reported that WhatsApp is currently working on the ability to allow users a choice between three modes ‘Best Quality’, ‘Data Saver’, ‘Auto’ which…

By Carl Blankenship carl.blankenship@salisburypost.com SALISBURY — The Rowan-Salisbury Schools Board of Education will receive an update on the results of a pay study commissioned for classified employees during its Monday meeting. The meeting will be held virtually. It will begin at 4:30 p.m. and can be viewed live at vimeo.com/rssboe. Anyone who wants to participate in the public comment period at the meeting must register by 3 p.m. on Monday by emailing board clerk Sonya Mulkey at mulkeysh@rss.k12.nc.us. The pay study was completed earlier this year by the firm HIL Consultants. It provided updated salary grades and created 30-step pay scales based on comparable pay in the market. The district’s human resources department looked at the recommendations in the study and made adjustments based on changes made by neighboring districts this summer, according to Monday’s agenda documents. If the state passes a draft budget setting the minimum wage for state employees to $13, that would increase the district’s current minimum pay of $11.66. New pay scales were set to make the lowest paid position $13 per hour based on that potential bump. That increase alone would bump up the district’s current minimum of $11.66 per hour for state-funded employees. Most…

LinkedIn has recently reported that seven technical issues relating to ads were found and resolved on the platform, with eight percent of the LinkedIn Marketing Solutions customers being affected in the process.The issues at hand almost entirely affected metrics related to ad campaigns and sponsored posts on the site. Examples of affected data includes view counts for videos, click counts across mobile devices for ad campaigns, insights on sponsored campaigns, and so on. In a nutshell, if the information at hand pertained to ads, then it was potentially affected. However, unlike most major glitches and errors that affect social media platforms, this one was rather self contained. Apparently, only eight percent of the Marketing Solutions customers ended up being affected by the changes. While they're definitely not happy over the current proceedings, what's rather obvious to state is that things could have been so much worse.The technical issues were publicly acknowledged and addressed by the LinkedIn Marketing Solutions' vice president of product, Gyanda Sachdeva. In a statement reported by AdWeek, the VP goes on to reassure users that the impact of these errors was minimal, and they were fixed within two weeks of discovery. Furthermore, as an act of good…

Image: © AFP Let’s start with an obvious fact – Vulnerable people usually don’t do well on social media. For some, it’s catastrophic; as bad as the hideous “normal” high school horror stories. Many people really do suffer horribly. Instagram in particular is getting a lot of flak for its role in mental health issues among teens, especially girls. TIME Magazine has a simple, very efficiently told story about the crash and burn of an Instagram user, covering 9 years of a girl’s life on social media. It’s pretty grim reading, though. From day one to a virtual shopping list of issues years later, this girl really hit the rocks, hard. After nearly a decade, she had to seek medical help. Rather sadly, there’s an all-too-predictable narrative, and it applies across the board. From naïve excitement to a growing and terrifying fear of rejection, the reward process of likes, etc., it’s all there. It’s a virtual map of the hazards.  From body image problems to just plain social bullying, it reads like a market survey. The problem is that it IS a market survey, in so many ways.   Bear in mind this subject of many jagged edges also locks…
