    Whilst it might be nice to ask the friendly forum members for their advice, I think if you are truly worried just get it checked out by a doctor.

    CouchSloth reacted to jmohamed in Nexus 4 update to 4.3 need info   
    You need to flash the google image manually in order to get 4.3 now, By doing this you will wipe out your current phone setup. Image files found here : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
     
     
    The alternative is to wait until Google makes 4.3 available OTA, this will upgrade you from 4.2.2 without wiping your device.

    CouchSloth got a reaction from zeiferlance in Should we Post the Booth Babe Video?   
    We followed all the Linus Media Group content from Computex and there was a ton of it. The Booth babes are a part of the show. If there had been no videos posted of Computex then the only way to have experienced it would have been to have gone there, and thus we would have seen the booth babes. As long as the edited video is not in any way obscene then I dont see any reason for not viewing it. I can't remember many videos at all that had booth babes in it from their presented content.
     
    As long as I get to see some lovely smiles I'll be happy. For me if a women has a beautiful smile, then they are attractive, so I hope the video is posted up and there are lots of smiling faces.

    CouchSloth reacted to LinusTech in ** CLOSED ** HTC Forum Giveaway - A Chance to Win 1 of 4 HTC Phones!   
    SPONSOR MESSAGE (please read)

    HTC has been making massive waves with their HTC One Android smartphone, and while unfortunately we are not able to bring you any HTC Ones in this giveaway, the available options are absolutely rockin'. My wife has been using a DROID DNA for quite a while now, and with its S4 Pro processor and gorgeous 1080p screen it is a head-turner in spite of, or perhaps BECAUSE of the fact that most people don't recognize exactly what phone it is, particularly here in Canada.
     
    TLDR: HUGE thanks to HTC for making this giveaway possible. You guys freakin' rock and the support you're showing for our brand new community is overwhelming!
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    PHONE GIVEAWAY RULES & REGULATIONS 
     
    Guys, this is one of the biggest giveaways we've ever done. HTC is making it all possible by providing us with not one, not two, not three, not four... Oh wait actually four.
     

     
    FOUR phones to give away!! ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.....
     
    Not only that, but you get to PICK your prize! Read on for more details.
     
    This is a Linus Tech Tips giveaway, so I'm keeping it "unofficial" and opening it up to the world. With that said HTC is going to cover helping me ship TWO of the phone globally, while the other two will only be shipped to the USA only. We will draw four winners and in a case where more than 2 winners are outside of the USA will we re-draw.
     
    Now for the really cool part. You actually get to PICK the phone you want from the list of available phones! With that said, the phones available in the different regions vary a little bit.
     
     
    Prizes: 4 HTC smartphones with a "pick your prize" approach!
     
    USA winners can pick between the following: 
     
    DROID DNA
    HTC 8X
    HTC One S
    HTC EVO 4G LTE
    HTC One X+
     
    International winners can pick between the following:
     
    HTC One X+
    HTC 8X
    HTC 8S

    CouchSloth got a reaction from jugster42 in Can games trigger Epilepsy ?   
    My GF has epilepsy as did my sister. From both I haven't seen evidence that they do cause seizures. But the basic premise is that strobing lights can trigger an epileptic fit. It is obviously down to the individual as to how much effect this can have. Now with video games it is the fast changing light sources in the images that can cause this. With my GF she hasn't had a seizure since I've been living with her (over 3 years) but she does often feel the possible onset of a seizure. It is normally related to over tiredness and excess exersion. At this point she must lie down and rest. Obviously if she is in such a tired state playing video games with light patterns quickly changing this could also potentially trigger a seizure. It's really down to the individual as to how bad their epilepsy is and learning to manage it with the help of their doctor.
     
    As for this pilot suing after having a seizure and thus loosing his flight status, sounds to me he played for far to long. If he never knew he had epilepsy before this I would almost guarantee he had it all his life and this one event triggered it. I would also suggest that if he read the terms and conditions for the game it would state somewhere there was a risk of an epilepsy seizure for those at risk.
     
    Play in moderation and have regular checkups with your doctor. Everything in moderation. Enjoy gaming.
