DJI’s Mini SE 2 drone just got a rare price cut

DJI is the brand to target when you’re looking for drone deals, but discounts for its products rarely happen. That’s why you shouldn’t miss this offer from Best Buy for the DJI Mini 2 SE, which is down by $20 to just $280 from $300 originally. That’s not much in terms of savings, but you might as well take it if you’re shopping for a high-quality and feature-packed drone. You should hurry with your purchase though, as it would be a shame if you would let this bargain slip through your fingers.

Why you should buy the DJI Mini 2 SE drone

DJI’s new drone, the DJI Mini 4K is on its way, and if you take a closer look, its design is very similar to the DJI Mini 2 SE, but probably with a 4K camera equipped. That doesn’t mean the DJI Mini 2 SE will be obsolete though, as it will still be a worthwhile purchase even with the launch of the next model. It’s lightweight and compact at just 249 grams so it’s easy to bring with you on your outdoor adventures, and it’s extremely easy to operate with its included remote control.

The DJI Mini 2 SE with its Full HD camera has an extended video transmission range of 10 kilometers, so you’ll be able to explore a wide area, and it offers various modes for taking footage that will look like they were taken by professionals. The drone has a maximum flight time of 31 minutes, and once its battery gets low, its Return to Home function will make sure that it gets back to you in time.

The DJI Mini 2 SE is a reliable device that comes with all the features that you would expect from a drone. It’s currently on sale from Best Buy at $20 off, which pulls its price down to $280 from $300. That’s not a large discount, but you may as well take advantage of it if you’re interested in the DJI Mini 2 SE. There’s no telling how much time is remaining before its stocks run out or its price goes back to normal though, so you need to proceed with the transaction right now to make sure that you don’t miss out.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards
Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.

AI turned Breaking Bad into an anime — and it’s terrifying
Split image of Breaking Bad anime characters.

These days, it seems like there's nothing AI programs can't do. Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, deepfakes have done digital "face-offs" with Hollywood celebrities in films and TV shows, VFX artists can de-age actors almost instantly, and ChatGPT has learned how to write big-budget screenplays in the blink of an eye. Pretty soon, AI will probably decide who wins at the Oscars.

Within the past year, AI has also been used to generate beautiful works of art in seconds, creating a viral new trend and causing a boon for fan artists everywhere. TikTok user @cyborgism recently broke the internet by posting a clip featuring many AI-generated pictures of Breaking Bad. The theme here is that the characters are depicted as anime characters straight out of the 1980s, and the result is concerning to say the least. Depending on your viewpoint, Breaking Bad AI (my unofficial name for it) shows how technology can either threaten the integrity of original works of art or nurture artistic expression.
What if AI created Breaking Bad as a 1980s anime?
Playing over Metro Boomin's rap remix of the famous "I am the one who knocks" monologue, the video features images of the cast that range from shockingly realistic to full-on exaggerated. The clip currently has over 65,000 likes on TikTok alone, and many other users have shared their thoughts on the art. One user wrote, "Regardless of the repercussions on the entertainment industry, I can't wait for AI to be advanced enough to animate the whole show like this."
