Back in 2017, Walmart launched a pilot project that made some of its old-school brick-and-mortar retail stores seem like futuristic testbeds. The chain began trialing robots that could scan shelves to make sure items display the correct price and that they’re in stock, a test that started out in 50 stores.

This year, those robots will have rolled out to 350 Walmart stores, making robots an increasingly familiar presence in the store’s aisles as shoppers hunt for the retail giant’s signature low-price deals.

It was apparently the team over at PlayStation’s turn to trounce Xbox with September’s selection of free games for subscribers, as the Games with Gold for next month are underwhelming, especially compared to August’s. But I can’t be too disappointed, as the highlight of the month is unquestionably the first season of Hitman, which remains one of my favorite games of this entire generation. If you haven’t played it yet, grab it on Sunday.

I’m not as familiar with any of the other titles, but I know a lot of people who love the Earth Defense Force games, so here’s your chance to grab one for free. Oh, and there’s a Tekken game in there as well.

NASA’s Mars 2020 mission will officially kick off in July of next year, and there’s still plenty to do before that can happen. The spacecraft NASA will send to the Red Planet needs to be fully assembled and everyone needs to be checked and checked again to ensure there are no hiccups along the way. Oh, and the Mars 2020 rover still needs a name.

As it’s done in the past, NASA is enlisting the help of the public to come up with a moniker for its fancy new robot. Starting this week, NASA is requesting that K-12 students send in their name suggestions and short essays explaining why they think their nickname would be a good fit for the rover.

I got tired of doing the same old dance over and over again. You know the one: you buy a cheap umbrella in a drug store and it works for a couple of months, but then it breaks the first time you’re caught outside in a storm with fast wind. Then, you go back to a drug store to buy another cheap umbrella to replace it. I set out to test a ton of top-rated umbrellas to find the best one, and I landed on the Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella with Teflon Coating. It’s compact and lightweight and yet it can withstand incredibly fast wind speeds. It also has a lifetime guarantee so if it ever breaks, Repel will replace it for free!

Repel Windproof Travel Umbrella with Teflon Coating: $22.95

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

• AUTOMATIC, COMPACT, AND LIGHTWEIGHT – Auto open/close function allows for easy one-handed operation. Measuring just 11.5″ long and weighing less than 1lb the folding handheld umbrella is extremely packable in purses, briefcases, backpacks, luggage and more
• WIND-DEFYING 9-RIB CONSTRUCTION – Most small or mini umbrellas are made of 6 or 8 aluminum ribs but Repel is fortified with 9 resin-reinforced fiberglass ribs that flex slightly to withstand powerful gusts without turning inside out
• SUPERIOR WATER-REPELLENCY – Put the technology of Teflon to work for you. Waterproof, weatherproof and instantly dry, the foldable and durable Repel Travel Umbrella defends against the elements like nothing else
• QUALITY WORKMANSHIP – Designed with a three-fold chrome plated black metal shaft, and strong metal frame to allow for greater stability in high winds. The ergonomic, slip-proof, and rubberized grip handle with wrist strap allow for easy carrying. A protective travel sleeve is included. Perfect for men, women, teens and kids

There were Pokemon games on mobile devices before Pokemon Go arrived, and several have been released in the years since, but none have had even a fraction of the impact as Niantic’s mega-hit. That might change this week, as DeNA and The Pokemon Company have teamed up for a new game called Pokemon Masters.

Pokemon Masters follows trainers who visit the artificial island of Pasio to compete in the Pokemon Masters League, which consists of a series of 3-on-3 tournaments where every trainer can only bring one Pokemon to battle. Unlike in other Pokemon games, instead of catching Pokemon, your goal is to team up with other trainers and their Pokemon (these are known as “sync pairs”) so you can be prepared for any challenge that awaits you.
