Netflix disassociates itself from "Bird Box challenge"



Netflix is worried about the new reality challenge taking over the internet as a result of its popular series “Bird Box”.

Youtubers around the world have been promoting the challenge where individuals can be seen walking around blind folded.

The origin of this challenge is still unknown however, Netflix realizing the responsiblity and the possible horrible outcomes have disassociated itself from the act and has come forward to discourage the same labeling it as a “stupid” act.

Regardless of warnings from Netflix the dangerous trend has gone viral and is not coming any slow.

Popular youtuber Morgan Adams has contributed his efforts to warn the youtubers from the dangerous viral trend originally inspired from Netflix Horror movie “Bird Box”.

The concept is to spend certain time of day blindfolded where certain individuals have been able to spend almost 24 hours completely blindfolded.

“Can’t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE,” the official Netflix account tweeted. “We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes.”

It is unfortunate that no entity let it be Netflix have any control over the internet trends. But Netflix fears possible legal complications due to its content to be the source of inspiration for the challenge.

Sadly, it seems that Netflix attempt to discourage people from BirdBox challenge has minimum effect as the trend belongs to internet now.

Things missing in Huawei Honor 8X



After using the Samsung Galaxy S8+ for over an year I have almost fallen in love with the same. Unfortunately, it was December 15, 2018 when I forgot my phone in a taxi.

Immediately realizing the absence of my phone I tried all that i could to contact the taxi driver only ending up with a powered off phone.

Sadly, my phone was officially declared stolen.

Using such a powerful and a high budget phone I wondered if  I would ever get used to any other smart phone. It was mid of month and I have already spent half of my salary. Meaning, I didn't have a budget to buy such an expensive phone and neither I could delay buying one.

Finally, i decided to buy a mid range phone as i had no other choice. Recently, I had been hearing the developments of Huawei and the news how it over took the iphone market for the first time. However, I was not at all convinced due to the price tag of Huawei as compared to Iphone and Samsung. Huawei phones were very cheap as compared to the latter two.

However, since I had no other choice Huawei seem to be the best option available for me.

In short I ended up buying Huawei Honor 8x. You must have an idea from above commentary that I did not have much expectation from the phone.

But man was I WRONG!!!

This phone amazed me the moment i opened the box.

From design, to memory, capacity, camera, RAM, and so many other options I was not only convinced by the fact that Huawei meant to be in serious business but also that I have been a fool buying such expensive phones in the past.

Its been only 15 days since I have been using my new phone but the relationship and bonding that I have developed with it has pushed me to write this review.

Since there are many articles and reviews already written on the specs of the phone itself I believe readers need a variety of reviews to understand how these mid range phones differ from the expensive ones.

Being user of both expensive and mid range phone I found out following major differences in both:

Note that this review will keep on updating as the time passes.
