Watch Netflix for free during this years Streamfest on December 5 and 6

If you don’t have a Netflix subscription but still want to check out some of the platforms shows and films, you can do so for free in December. Netflix is hosting Streamfest, starting on December 5 12:01 AM to December 6 11:59 PM. If you’re in India, you can check out some of Netflix’s best shows and movies for the entire weekend. Do note that you will only receive SD content when accessing Streamfest. You could also exhaust the number of free views on the service so do be careful of that. 

We previously reported that Netflix was testing out a free weekend trial feature in India. Greg Peters, COO and Chief Product Officer at Netflix said, “We think that giving away everyone in the country access to Netflix for free for a weekend could be a great way to expose a bunch of new people to the amazing stories that we have, the service and how it works … and hopefully get a bunch of those folks to sign up”.  So it looks like Netflix is still carrying the torch for a new weekend trial with this year's Streamfest. 

Also, you do not need any payment details to access the free content. All you need is an email and phone number to get started. Monica Shergill, VP of Content, Netflix India said, “So, anyone in India can watch all the blockbuster films, the biggest series, award-winning documentaries, and entertaining reality shows for two whole days.”, on a Netflix blog. She also added, “From November 20, you can also visit Netflix.com/StreamFest and set a reminder with your email or phone number. And we’ll let you know as soon as StreamFest is live.”. 

So, if you’ve been wanting to check out Sacred Games or even Mindhunters, you should definitely sign up for Streamfest on Netflix. Also, do remember that Netflix and other OTT platforms will now be regulated by the Indian government. You can read more about that story here.

As reported a few days ago, some users on MacBook Pros from 2013 and 2014 are facing a black screen issue, effectively bricking the laptops. It is advised that you don't update these machines to Apple’s latest macOS until a more permanent solution is at hand.

Apple has addressed the issue in its support page and you can get the latest details there. Here is a quick look at some of the steps Apple recommends on its support page to try and fix the black screen macOS Big Sur install issue. 

How to fix macOS Big Sur update black screen issue

If your Mac no longer starts up successfully, these steps might help resolve the issue:

Press and hold the power button on your Mac for at least 10 seconds, then release. If your Mac is on, it turns off. Unplug all external devices from your Mac, including any displays and USB accessories, and remove any card inserted in the SDXC card slot. Then turn your Mac on. If the issue persists, reset the SMC as described for notebook computers with a non-removable battery. If the issue persists, reset NVRAM or PRAM.  If none of these solutions work, please contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Is PUBG Mobile India launching today What you need to know

No, PUBG Mobile is not launching in India today. Yup, that’s it. That’s the news. Digit.in got in touch with the team at PUBG Mobile India, and they have confirmed that it’s not happening. So if you were planning on playing PUBG Mobile India today, it looks like you will have to wait a while longer. Of course, the bigger question is how did this rumour begin.

Well, there seem to be two news stories that point to PUBG Mobile planning something today. The first is from TechCrunch which points towards Krafton kicking off its marketing campaign for PUBG Mobile India. In its story, it was said that the PUBG Corporation plans to invest $100 million in India’s gaming, esports and IT ecosystems. It should be noted that their story doesn’t directly imply that the game will release today. However, they do point towards popular PUBG Mobile YouTuber, Kronten Gaming who alluded to the same in one of his videos.

In the video, at around the 3:11 mark, Kronten Gaming (real name Chetan Chandgude) notes that the teaser for the game will be out soon and that the game should release soon. The November 20th date seems more like an off-hand comment based on the assumption that the game is stated to be ‘coming soon’. It should be noted that Chandgude was one of the YouTubers who were a part of the teaser video alongside Dynamo and Johnathan. 

Of course, there is also the possibility that YouTubers like Kronten Gamingmight get an advanced copy of the game to try out today and accidentally let that (almost) slip during his live stream. This is a fairly common practice in gaming as this allows publications/influencers to get to experience the game before launch, share feedback, and possibly generate additional hype for the game. Bethesda did that with the Fallout 76 B.E.T.A a few years ago. Of course, this is pure speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Regardless, what we do know is that PUBG Corp. plans to release the game before the end of the year. However, before they do that, there are a lot of hurdles they will need to clear with the most notable being a clearance from the Indian Government which will most likely go through the game with a fine-tooth comb. Regardless, players should sit tight and check out PUBG Mobile India’s official social media channels for concrete information.
