Google Stadia site for prospective gamers revamped with list of available titles – 9to5Google

On Thursday, Google expanded Stadia access to all modern Android phones and the mobile app quickly hit a million installs after that. The Stadia website for prospective users was also redesigned to better sell the streaming service to news users and now features a list of available games.

For new or signed out users, Stadia.com still advertises how you can “Play for free” through a one month Stadia Pro free trial that provides “instant access to a collection of games.” Google then tells users how they can buy titles outright and that there’s currently a “$10 off your first game purchase in the Stadia store with Pro” offer. Introduced on Thursday alongside the other announcements, this leads to the major aspect of the site revamp.

Next to “About Stadia” at the top is a new “Games” tab. It starts by listing the current set of titles included with Stadia Pro. The monthly $9.99 subscription is described as a way to “Build a library of incredible games” with 17 currently available as of June — Elder Scrolls Online will launch in the coming days for free.

Below this is a grid of other titles that you can buy directly and will own in perpetuity. The Google Store for the past several weeks has maintained a similar Stadia games list that also notes what’s “coming soon.” However, it does not distinguish what’s currently included with Pro from month-to-month.

The rest of this Stadia website revamp emphasizes the ability to “Play instantly across your devices” — where Premiere Edition is advertised — and that “Access to Stadia is Free.” A section describing the technical benefits of Pro membership closes the page.

AI-optimized manufacturing Paper and pencil tracking, luck, significant global travel and opaque supply chains are part of today’s status quo, resulting in large amounts of wasted energy, materials and time. Accelerated in part by the long-term shutdown of international and regional travel by COVID-19, companies that design and build products will rapidly adopt cloud-based technologies to aggregate, intelligently transform, and contextually present product and process data from manufacturing lines throughout their supply chains. By 2025, this ubiquitous stream of data and the intelligent algorithms ...

Physics Alumnus Answers an Iconic Call to Adventure – Bethel University News

“To boldly go where no one has gone before.”  These are the voyages of Aaron Coe ’19, a physics and computer science alumnus who has already made valiant advances into the world of the unknown, despite graduating only a year ago. While he is more of a Star Wars fan, he certainly resonates with Star Trek’s iconic call to adventure—one that he hopes to pursue through a life dedicated to researching condensed matter physics. In 2019, Coe was awarded the Swedish Council of America’s (SCA) Glenn T. Seaborg Science Scholarship, which included a trip to Nobel Week to present his own research as well as absorb the research of some of the brightest minds in science. Coe is currently working toward a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics at Harvard. He recently received the 2020 National Defense Science and Engineering (NDSEG) Fellowship , which covers three years of full tuition and fees, a monthly stipend for cost of living, a travel budget, and health insurance. The award has a five to ...
