NBA fans can get closer to the game with Google and Pixel

At Google, we are passionate about helping people get access to information. And as a lifelong basketball fan, I know this is especially important in sports fandom. That’s why I’m personally excited to share that the Google Pixel is the Official Fan Phone of the NBA, NBA G League and NBA 2K League. And Google is each league’s Official Search Engine and Search Trends and Fan Insights Partner. Additionally, Pixel will be the first-ever presenting partner of the NBA Playoffs, joining YouTube TV, NBA Finals presenting sponsor, in the postseason. We'll combine the best of Google’s Search trends, information, technology, devices and services to help fans go deeper and get closer to the culture, teams and players they love.

Through this multi-year partnership, we’ll work with the NBA to create exciting immersive experiences for fans using our 3D and AR technology, as well as leverage new features that will be announced at our Pixel Fall Launch event. And we’ll continue to provide experiences and information in all the places fans turn to every day, whether that’s Pixel to take pictures of your favorite team in action, Search to check scores and schedules, Google Shopping to find your favorite player’s jersey, or Maps to get to the arena using the most sustainable route.

And for the basketball superfans like me, we’ll also integrate Google’s Search trends throughout the season, showing how fans are searching before, during and after games with real-time data. For instance, did you know that the NBA has been the top-searched sports league in the world since 2004? Or that people who search for the NBA are more likely to search for social justice compared to any other professional sports league?

As the Official Trends and Fan Insights Partner of the WNBA, we showcased these types of Search trends and insights throughout the season and during the WNBA Playoffs and WNBA Finals, including in live broadcasts of games, within arenas, and across Google and WNBA digital and social channels.

I’m proud that our work with the WNBA doesn’t end there. When Google became a WNBA Changemaker earlier this year, we worked with the WNBA and ESPN to increase visibility of women’s sports. We helped deliver 25 games on ABC and ESPN for the league’s 25th season and added a dedicated segment for women’s sports on ESPN’s SportsCenter. We’re equally proud to partner with the NBA, as its commitment to its fans and dedication to social responsibility are values that we share and deeply believe in.

Join us to hear more about the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro at the Pixel Fall Launch event Tuesday, October 19 at 10 am Pacific. You can also check out some exciting new Pixel camera features in action later that evening during a special Opening Night NBA on TNT Tip-Off pregame show. The NBA’s 75th anniversary season will then tip off with a doubleheader on TNT as defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks host the Brooklyn Nets at 4:30 pm Pacific and the Golden State Warriors visit the Los Angeles Lakers at 7 pm Pacific.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
