Preorder Arcade1Up's Stunning New Arcade Cabinets For $299, Instead of the Expected $399
Posted in: Today's Chili
These 3/4 sized Arcade1Up arcade cabinets were supposed to cost $399 each, and indeed, that’s what GameStop is charging for preorders. But ever since last night, Walmart’s only been asking for $299. We aren’t sure if it’s a mistake (in which case your order stands to possibly be canceled) or intentional, but if you’ve…

Need to buy groceries but don’t have a car and you don’t want to deal with lugging bags of groceries on the bus, train, or a taxi? The good news is that if you live in Phoenix, Arizona, Waymo and Walmart might have a solution for you thanks to a new partnership by both companies.
Launched as a pilot program, it seems that Walmart customers in Phoenix will soon be able to call themselves a Waymo ride which will send them to the store and collect their groceries which were ordered via Walmart’s website. Taking part in this pilot program will also nab shoppers a discount.
For those unfamiliar, Waymo is Alphabet’s self-driving car division which means that if you’ve always wondered how a self-driving car handles, this could be it. According to Waymo, “We’ve been busy teaming up with partners this summer to create new experiences, and provide unique value for our riders. We know from our early riders that most of their rides are to run errands, shop for groceries, commute to work, head to dinner or fix their personal vehicles.”
Of course there are still plenty of other ways that you can get your groceries, such as have them delivered to your home, but like we said if you are curious about self-driving cars and wouldn’t mind snagging yourself a discount, then maybe it could be worth checking out.

About a week ago, popular tech YouTuber Dave Lee posted a video in which he discovered that the new 2018 MacBook Pros with the Intel Core i9 processor were running into throttling issues apparently due to poor thermal management. Apple has since issued a patch for their laptops, claiming that this was a “bug”.
Apple also claims that with the patch, the laptops should now perform much better than before, although the question is, does it? For those wondering, the good news is that it does. This is according to a new review by Dave Lee who uploaded a new video in which he confirms that upon applying the patch, performance does improve significantly.
According to Lee, he has seen quite a bit of improvement to his laptop’s performance, where before it took 39 minutes and 37 seconds to render a 4K video, but now it takes 23 minutes and 12 seconds. As Lee notes, this is how a laptop with newer hardware should perform, where previously it appeared that the 2017 MacBook Pro actually edged out the 2018 in terms of rendering times.
That being said, Lee points out that there are more powerful i9 laptops out there if power and performance is what users see. He mentions gaming laptops which sacrifice on thinness for a much better cooling system, where these i9 laptops are capable of nearly doubling up on its base clock speed.
