Skype, cloud and chat history. How to get rid of it?

After the Microsoft accusation of Skype, it began to store your message in the cloud to hold them while your contacts are offline. It also holds them permanently to sync them across devices. This had made dealing with chat history hard.
If you don't remove messages from the desktop client soon after sending them, there remains no way for you to delete them. At least from the desktop client. You can delete you entire Skype history, but that may not be always desirable.

 To delete your entire history on a PC:

1. Go to Tools>options>Privacy.

2. Click on clear history and you are done.

To  delete your chat history with only one contact, you have to do the following:

1. Log out of all the clients. You can use the command "/remotelogout" on any client.

2. Delete the local history from every device. For mobile, uninstall and reinstall Skype after logging out.

For PCs:

1. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard, then press R to bring up the Run window. If you are using a touch screen device on Windows 8, you can bring up the Run window from the Search charm.
2. Type %appdata%\Skype into the Run window and press Enter.
3. Open the folder named after your Skype Name.
4. Find the main.db file in the folder, this file is your chat history. Delete it.

3. Delete history from the cloud. To do this, you must have a Microsoft live account linked to your Skype id.

Login Skype on a windows phone device with your linked Microsoft account.

Yep, you'll need to borrow a WP device if you don't have one.

Open your conversation and you can delete the history there. Tap the 3 dots and then tap "Clear history". It will say that "Chat history will be cleared from this device only." Ignore that.

Now this conversation is deleted from the cloud and we deleted it from all the offline storage. When you Login on your devices again, all your history will be restored except the one you just deleted.

If you are on a different platform or have any other doubt, please leave a comment.

TP-Link TL-WR841N Openwrt build that works properly.

The build available on Openwrt wiki contains unnecessary software packages and has barely any space left to install more.

I compiled this build to match all the functionality that is available in the stock TP-Link firmware.

WARNING: DRAGONS AHEAD.

You can brick your device with the following information.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the network failed. Please  do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this image before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if  you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

I am not including any instructions as a fail-safe to make sure that you read the wiki properly before flashing.

Have fun!

There no new QWERTY phones in the market. We are the small group who likes tactile feedback while typing.

I really hope to see a all rounder Windows phone with QWERTY.

Reliance broadband superfast auto login and keep alive script.

I managed to mod a script on github according to my needs.

https://github.com/pteek/reliance-auto-login-script

You will need beautifulsoup installed. Fireup a python shell and type "pip install beautifulsoup4"

1. Open CMD.
2. Run "cd c:\pyhton34\scripts"
 (replace python34 with your pyhton version or change the whole path if needed)
3. Run  "pip install beautifulsoup4"

Have a look at the read-me for full instructions.

Due credit to the original authors on who's work I improved.

This script is very fast. It's made for doge speed.

It will make your Reliance broadband truly always-on. It reconnects in less than a second and keeps trying until it logs on. Even when Reliance login servers are congested, you will never have to worry about logging in to Internet again.

To say full FUCKYOU to Reliance captive portal, follow these steps.

Put the reliance-login.py file at C:\

IF YOU PUT IT ANYWHERE ELSE, then you have to manually change the path in the script given below.

Create a vbs script in start up folder located at(just change the extension of a .txt to .vbs)

In W7: C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

in XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

Name it test.vbs or anything really.

Put the following in the script:

Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\relaince-login.py" & Chr(34), 0
Set WinScriptHost = Nothing

This will run the script in background, invisible, every time your computer starts.

Have fun!

How to fix error 805a8011 on Windows Phone.

I met 805a8011 today. It is one sneaky little error that made me scratch my head for quite some time.

This is a error that my Lumia 520 running Windows Phone 8 was throwing when Microsoft store was opened.

The symptoms that come with it are:

1. Internet works in IE on your Windows Phone and in some apps.
2. Microsoft store app won't even try to connect and throw this error.
3. WhatsApp won't connect to the internet.
4. Other possible symptom that I didn't encounter.


 This error is caused by LOW STORAGE space on your phone. You need to delete some photos, music or videos to make some space. Hopefully everything will be fine after you have about 100MB or more of free space on the phone.

The only explanation that comes to mind is that the OS needs this free space. Why? I have no clue.

When I Googled this, all I saw was few discussion of user having this problem and some of them 'fixing' it by a hard reset.

There was no official page from Microsoft explaining the meaning or reason for this error, let alone providing a solution. No one seemed to have an idea what this is. The discussions in languages other than English were also all dead ends. Even the clever Russians, to whom I turn to for solutions of such rare problems, had no clue.

I had this wild thought that the error was caused by the low storage space I had left. It struck me when I saw the measly 23 MB free space when I was browsing through the settings menu to find something relevant to the symptoms.

Good luck with your troubleshooting! Feel free to leave me a question or two.

Edit:

Here is another way to fix the error:

Try to manually synchronize your Microsoft account by going to "Settings".
Tap on "email+accounts".
Tap and hold on “Microsoft account“.
Tap on “Synchronize“.
