The DJI Mic 2 quickly became one of the most popular microphones around. We can see why. This is an all-in-one mic package with everything you need. These are convenient, easy to use, very portable, and offer really good quality for the size and price.
Let's start with the receiver. This little gadget attaches to your camera's shoe, and can connect to your camera using a small cable. It will control connectivity with your transmitters and handle all the hard work to integrate your audio to the camera. It has a convenient touchscreen and simple menu, making it easy to change settings and get things running in no time. And if you're more of a mobile creator, the case stores attachments for USB-C and Lightning ports, so you can easily use it with smartphones.
We love that the transmitters are small and offer a magnetic design. This makes it easy to attach them anywhere. The magnet is really strong, and even the windscreen magnet is improved. I've never felt like anything will fall off. That said, there's also a clip if you prefer that.
Added features include 32-bit float internal recording, noise canceling (which does surprisingly well), mono/stereo recording, about six hours of battery life, and more.
This is still a go-to for content creators, mainly because they work so well without messing too much with the settings. They are easy to set up and operate. If you feel like $349 is a bit too steep a retail price, this $100 discount will feel golden. Especially considering the record-low price of a device that is rarely on sale. We've only seen it discounted once before, for a hot second, and it was $269. Hurry up! This deal will be gone tomorrow.

Starbucks's new Secret Menu is a perfect strategy to tap TikTok
Starbucks has been in a bit of a slump, facing stagnant growth as it awaits its new CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround. His strategy? Nicer stores you want to sit in. Protein-loaded coffee. And now . . . turning every day at Starbucks into a viral drop. The company is launching a 'secret menu' in its app today, building off the momentum of its 'not-so-secret menu' broadcast channel on Instagram. Secret menus, of course, are irresistible to the fleshy consumer brain. A mystery and treat in one! But in the case of Starbucks, it's part of a brilliant promotional strategy by its new chief brand officer Tressie Lieberman. How will Starbucks's Secret Menu work? The menu will contain rotating offers for drinks. But instead of being born inside its Seattle headquarters coffee lab, these drinks are created by fans on social media who use Starbucks's customization options to create particularly alluring beverages. 'That's what people do today: create their own Starbucks order,' says Lieberman. 'And so how do we tap into that?' Indeed, customization is a big part of Starbucks's appeal; you can order a drink just as you like it. But its menu has become so sprawling and complicated for baristas to produce that Niccol has actually cut it back by nearly a third to simplify production. What's brilliant about the Starbucks Secret Menu—which is launching with a $25,000 prize to stoke interest—is twofold: Instead of creating a TikTok trend, it can simply ride a TikTok trend, since people are already promoting their own custom drinks on the service. But the second component is just as important for a company with tens of thousands of locations worldwide. These glitzy, viral drinks are being made with the ingredients Starbucks already has lying around. In other words, it's all turnkey. Starbucks doesn't need to spin up a whole production supply chain to sell the equivalent of a McRib. It can just rearrange its food stuffs to make something novel, a lot like Taco Bell combines its shells and sauces to make something new—but crowdsourced. This strategy is a far cry from how Starbucks used to look at viral creations: as operational headaches that were at odds with its own business model. Instead, Starbucks can analyze a viral menu item, decide if it needs to be tweaked for scale, and then share it back with its audience in a way that can work. 'Some of the best ideas are coming from customers. Customers decide what's in; customers decide what's cool,' says Lieberman. '[With the Secret Menu] We're really just working to help put media behind [fans] and get more reach around new ideas. It's a lot about being visible, visible to our audience, and being really strategic about how we approach these different trends as well,' says Lieberman. She points to a recent viral drink called the Gummy Shark, where TikTokers took the Summer Berry Refresher and added cold foam so it would taste like the popular candy, as a recent proof point of this strategy. 'That's a gift from our customers,' says Lieberman. 'Let's jump on that. Let's create content around it and celebrate it, instead of moving away from it.' In other words, with its new Secret Menu, Starbucks is building a workflow so that they don't need to come up with their next hit, while ensuring that you can taste the wild thing you're gawking at online easily. (Its new point-of-sale terminals will even be getting a viral drinks tab so that if you walk into a store without your phone, you can order off this menu as well.) The only question remaining is, can a secret menu stay cool when it's available to millions of customers? Anyone who's ordered a speak-easy-inspired Neapolitan shake or animal style fries from In-N-Out knows…the answer is a sad and true, 'absolutely yes.'

2 Innovations For Financial Markets
1 2 5 10 100 Different dollar bills in a pile as background. Finance concept It's easy to understand intuitively that financial markets are predictive to some extent. In other words, there are things we can learn through data, and other things that are fairly opaque and mysterious, at least until you apply some pretty advanced analysis. But I think that a lot of people would associate finance, in general, with learning. People want to understand methodologies, and how finance works – they want to be able to make better decisions by being more informed, not just about what markets are doing or how to budget money, but how to forecast and make predictions and plan for the future, which is kind of what budgeting is when you think about it. In fact, investing is the same, in a way. Obviously, it works better if you have a long-term plan. Using AI for Finance So given all that, it seems like finance is a perfect application for the products of large language models, where these analytical machines are so highly cognitive that they can make predictions and teach us more about how to handle money. I recently saw a range of presentations by some great young career professionals who are developing real-world use cases for artificial intelligence. Two of them had to do with finance, but they had very different angles applied. Event Prediction The first one was a predictive engine from Aroosh Krishna that analyzed the Kalshi exchange – although it has an Indian-sounding name, the exchange was created in the U.S., fairly recently. I wasn't familiar with Kalshi, but when I read up on it, the platform gets at least 1 million users routinely, and you can bet on everything from natural disasters and elections to things like what Trump is going to say in a certain time frame. They call it event-based investment. In any case, a project called AnalyseKalshi uses sentiment analysis to help predict outcomes. There are two APIs involved, according to a flow chart showing how this engine works. Chart Krishna notes that part of the goal is to level the playing field between hedge funds and what he calls 'casual investors.' I found this to be an interesting use of AI, although applied to a market that seems to lack a certain seriousness. In other words, our tools can make highly predictive recommendations about certain kinds of outcomes based on the capricious emotions of, in some cases, rather unstable people, or more serious and substantial predictions … driven by highly technical pattern observations that LLMs can help us with. Teen Budgeting The second presentation had to do with creating personal finance tools for teenagers or young adults. Presenter Viren Kedia noted that the app is meant to help teens to be able to do things like invest, and budget, and understand taxes. Notes on program research on the presentation banner show that in two days, teens got a 30% increase in literacy quiz scores. Chart That's important because the quiz scores show you, as a user, what you're learning, and help with the benchmarking that the app brings to the table. Users, Kedia adds, like three major things about the application: free version, a good interactive chatbot, and video functionality. Teens learn the difference between a budget and financial plan, and setting financial goals. It's all part of educating this segment of the user base in better money management, and yes, in a way, predictive capabilities. Can these tools achieve what we need them to? The plans look actionable, and there's a clear value proposition to both of them. I'll continue to bring some of the most interesting and compelling projects to the blog, so stay tuned.

Android's lock screen widgets are getting a slick new background blur effect
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A future Android update will give the lock screen widget page a blurred wallpaper background, aligning it with the Material 3 Expressive design language. This visual change, which replaces the current opaque colored background, was spotted in the new Android Canary build, making the UI more consistent. Although lock screen widgets are currently exclusive to tablets, Google has confirmed they will be coming to phones in the Android 16 QPR1 release. Material 3 Expressive, the latest version of Google's design language, brings a more visually engaging and playful feel to Android through a new physics-based animation system, vibrant colors, larger buttons, and background blur effects. While Google has updated many UI elements to Material 3 Expressive, some parts of the OS still use the old design. For example, the lock screen widgets page doesn't use the same background blur effect found elsewhere, but that's finally changing. Last week, Google launched the Android Canary program, giving developers year-round access to preview new Android features. The first Canary build is slightly newer than the latest Android 16 QPR1 beta, meaning it contains some changes not yet present in the beta. One of these changes affects the lock screen widget page, which now features a blurred version of your wallpaper. Here's a gallery showing what the lock screen widget page currently looks like in Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2: And here's a gallery showing what it looks like in the first Android Canary build: In the QPR1 beta, the lock screen widget page has an opaque background using your wallpaper's dominant color. The July Android Canary build, however, applies the same blurred wallpaper effect seen in the Recents screen, notification pulldown, and keyguard. This small visual tweak doesn't change functionality, but it aligns the lock screen widget page with the rest of Android's Material 3 Expressive design. Google reintroduced lock screen widget support in Android 15 QPR1, though the feature remains exclusive to tablets for now. The company has confirmed that lock screen widgets are coming to phones in Android 16 QPR1, but the feature isn't active in the current beta or Canary builds. With only one beta left in the Android 16 QPR1 program, we'll hopefully see the feature land on phones in the upcoming third beta release. Got a tip? Talk to us!
