Earlier this year, UFC President Dana White warned that anyone even thinking about broadcasting UFC fights illegally would get into a lot of trouble for doing so. Because of that, don’t count on there being a free UFC 266 live stream today. This is exclusively a pay-per-view event, so you need to part with some hard-earned cash right now if you want to watch the action unfold live. Luckily, it couldn’t be easier to watch UFC 266 online. The event is being broadcast across the country exclusively through ESPN+. The price? For the UFC 266 PPV, pricing is set at $70, with new ESPN+ subscribers able to save $40 when they bundle it together with an annual membership to the sports-based streaming service. Required to watch all future UFC 2021 PPV events, that brings the price down to just $90 all-in for UFC 266 and ESPN+ for a year. ESPN+ isn’t solely all about UFC either, although it is the only place you can watch the main card, including featherweight bouts between Alexander … [Read more...] about No, There’s No Free UFC 266 Live Stream — You Need to Pay | Digital Trends

The Witcher season 3 is a go. On Saturday at the online-only Netflix TUDUM event, The Witcher head writer and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich announced that the Henry Cavill-led epic fantasy series will return for a third season. The official renewal announcement for The Witcher season 3 comes nearly three months ahead of the second season premiere December 17 on Netflix. Cavill will no doubt return in the lead, alongside the likes of Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra. Hissrich will continue as head writer and showrunner on The Witcher season 3. Towards the end of the three-hour TUDUM global fan event, Hissrich came on stage to announce three new Witcher projects. A second anime Witcher movie is on the way, to follow last month's The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. Additionally, Netflix is also developing a Witcher series for kids and family — very interested to see how they mould (and get rid of all the blood and gore) to fit the Witcher universe in a G rating. And as the one … [Read more...] about The Witcher Season 3: Netflix, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich Announce Renewal at TUDUM

YouTube allows users to download videos for offline viewing but there are a few caveats. Indian users (and those in some other regions) can download YouTube videos on their smartphones easily with YouTube's download option. For free users, this is limited to 720p resolution, and the files are available for 48 hours. Premium users can download the videos at full resolution. But while YouTube downloads were officially limited to mobile users, the streaming platform recently added a feature for offline mode on Desktop too. The only catch is that this feature is limited to Premium users. However not all videos can be downloaded — ones that are set to private viewing are not downloadable and there is also an option for offline viewing that can be disabled by content creators. How to download YouTube videos on mobile While YouTube Premium membership allows for downloading content for offline viewing, there are a few videos that users can download outside of the paid membership as … [Read more...] about How to Download YouTube Videos on Mobile or Desktop

These women are doing their part for science: By lying in bed for a week. A group of 20 female volunteers is spending five days in bed as part of a study at the Medes space clinic in Toulouse, France. The idea is to investigate the effects of microgravity on the body using a technique called dry immersion. One of the best ways to simulate the weightlessness of space here on Earth is to use water. That’s why astronauts train for spacewalks in what is, essentially, a giant swimming pool. However, volunteers can’t stay in water long-term to see the effects on their bodies over periods of days rather than hours. So a dry immersion study works by using a fancy water bed. The volunteers lie in giant bathtubs, but with the water covered by waterproof fabric. This way, they aren’t in direct contact with the water but it still supports their body in a way that is similar to what astronauts experience when they leave the gravity of Earth. They spend almost 24 hours a day in the water bed, … [Read more...] about Women Spending a Week in Bed to Research Spaceflight Effects | Digital Trends

The Witcher: Blood Origin first look has arrived. On Saturday at the online-only TUDUM event, Netflix unveiled the first look at its six-part Witcher prequel miniseries that is set completely underwater and 1,200 years prior to Henry Cavill stepping into a bathtub — and will depict the creation of the first Witcher and the events leading to the “Conjunction of the Spheres”. Sophia Brown (Giri/Haji), Laurence O'Fuarain (Vikings), and Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians) lead the cast of The Witcher: Blood Origin, that comes from showrunner Declan de Barra (The Originals), with The Witcher showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich among the executive producers alongside de Barra.
