Google Cloud Next: Tech predictions that might surprise you

Our favorite pastimes at Google Cloud are imagining and building. We like to help organizations think about their biggest opportunities, and then offer technology to help them get there. It's about giving companies access to technology so they can better serve their customers — like helping Ford create connected cars and helping H&M Group optimize their supply chain. It’s also about offering new ways for employees to work together using Google Workspace, with all of the applications they know and love (like Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar and Meet).

This week at Google Cloud Next, our annual developer and tech leader event, we’ll be diving into everything we are building. Our theme is “Today meets tomorrow,” and we'll be sharing the latest and greatest cloud technologies for organizations around the world. In this year’s opening keynote (October 11, 9 a.m. Pacific), Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian will share what’s new today in data, AI, infrastructure, security, collaboration and sustainability. Then, for a look into the future, we’re putting our experts on stage at 10 a.m. Pacific to make 10 cloud predictions for 2025. Tune in to learn how artificial intelligence will get us to a four-day work week (!) and how you can build applications without any coding experience.

The Predictions keynote will air live as part of Innovator’s Hive @ Google Cloud Next, our developer community with localized events in Sunnyvale, California, Mexico City, Tokyo, Munich, and Bengaluru, India. One of my favorite parts about the 2022 version of Cloud Next is that we are localizing our programming for audiences around the globe, so tune in wherever and whenever for our 24-hour livestream.

Sports and tech are merging

Google Cloud Next will also bring a new-ish sport to developers. With the baseball playoff season underway, AI and data analytics is making sports even more exciting, and we’re helping MLB create personalized fan experiences and help the winning Golden State Warriors become “Data Champions.” But that reflects a broader global trend: sports and tech are merging. This includes rapidly growing sports that many people have never heard of, like drone racing.

What is drone racing, you ask? Imagine strapping on a headset that feeds you the live view from an actual, miniature aircraft that you pilot through the air at speeds of up to 120 mph. Skim above the seats of an empty stadium, navigate through glowing gates at varying heights, and zip through narrow tunnels — all ahead of your fellow pilots (if you’re skilled enough).

Drone racing has gained massive momentum since its inception in 2011. With its mix of the virtual and the physical, drone racing already feels like a sport of tomorrow. Starting this year, a partnership between Google Cloud and the Drone Racing League (DRL) will advance it even further as engineers on both sides collaborate on new developments in the sport.

At Next ‘22, developers of all skill levels can get a taste of the action through immersive learning experiences using Google Cloud’s data and analytics services with real race data from DRL.

Participants in the Google Cloud Fly Cup Challenge can predict race outcomes and give their best tips to pilots in the hopes of enhancing their season performance. Participants will also compete for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to the season finale of the DRL World Championship Race and be crowned the champion on stage.Register on our website to join the race to become the DRL champion today.

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
