DirecTV launches Genre Packs, a more affordable way to get channels you actually want

DirecTV just announced the availability of Genre Packs, which are channel groupings tied to specific interests. The satellite TV provider teased this in January with the introduction of a sports-related bundle, but now there are more to choose from. These new packs include options for news, entertainment and Spanish language content.

Just like the MySports subscription, many of these new bundles come with live TV channels and subscriptions to streaming platforms. For instance, the MyEntertainment bundle allows access to around 40 channels, including Bravo and FX, but also includes a subscription to Disney+ with Hulu. That one costs $35 per month, making for a pretty good deal.

The MyNews bundle doesn’t come with any premium streaming subscriptions, but does allow access to the 24-hour news cycle in all of its brain-melting glory. Purchasers get access to all of the big ones here, including MSNBC, Fox News, CNN and, for some reason, Newsmax. It costs $40 per month, which seems like a lot just to watch a bunch of rich people yell at you, but what do I know.

MiEspañol offers access to more than 50 channels, including many Spanish-language stalwarts like Univision and Telemundo. It costs $35 per month. The MySports bundle, introduced in January, is still around, for $70 per month. It provides access to more than 25 sports-related channels and includes a subscription to ESPN+.

DJI Introduces Dock 3: “Drone In A Box” Solution For 24/7 Remote Operations

DJI has just launched DJI Dock 3, its first “Drone in a Box” solution with vehicle-mounting support. Designed for continuous remote operations, the platform serves sectors such as public safety, emergency response, and infrastructure inspection. The Dock 3 is compatible with the newly introduced DJI Matrice 4D and 4TD drones, offering enhanced performance and protection.

The DJI Dock 3 is built for critical operations in challenging environments, functioning at temperatures ranging from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). It has an IP56 rating, providing protection against dust and water. The Matrice 4D and 4TD drones feature low-noise, anti-ice propellers, ensuring stable flights even in freezing rain and winds of up to 12 m/s (27 mph).

The Dock 3 supports both fixed and vehicle-mounted deployments, allowing horizontal calibration and cloud-based location adjustments. For increased efficiency, two docks can be deployed on a single vehicle to rotate between drones. A fixed installation can also include the D-RTK 3 Relay to reduce interference in video transmission and satellite signals.

High-Performance Drones: Matrice 4D and 4TD

Both drones are IP55-rated and offer up to 54 minutes of forward flight and 47 minutes of hovering. They come equipped with a wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, and a laser range finder.

  • The Matrice 4D is optimized for high-precision mapping and surface inspections.
  • The Matrice 4TD includes an infrared camera, making it ideal for low-light inspections and emergency response operations.

Airborne Relay Operation

Using the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise remote controller, Matrice 4D drones can operate independently or as an airborne relay, extending communication coverage in obstructed areas or regions without a 4G signal.

Comprehensive Support Accessories

  • Obstacle Sensing Module: Features LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar for precise navigation.
  • AL1 Spotlight: Illuminates targets up to 100 meters (328 feet) and moves with the camera.
  • AS1 Speaker: Projects audio up to 300 meters (984 feet) and supports text-to-speech conversion.
  • Third-Party Payload Support: Connects external equipment such as parachutes via E-Port.

Data Security and Regulatory Compliance

DJI prioritizes data security, giving users full control over their information. Flight logs are not automatically synced to DJI servers in the U.S., and users can delete shared data at any time. FlightHub 2 meets ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards for information security compliance.

Availability

The DJI Dock 3 is available for purchase through authorized DJI Enterprise distributors. For more information, visit enterprise.dji.com/dock-3.

HONOR to Unveil AI Agent Solution at MWC 2025

At MWC 2025 in Barcelona, HONOR is set to introduce its latest AI Agent solution under the umbrella of its  AI-driven HONOR ALPHA PLAN. This announcement marks a significant step in the company’s vision for integrating artificial intelligence into everyday technology.

The rise of AI agents promises to transform the way we access information and enhance our creativity. These intelligent systems are designed to support autonomous decision-making, manage complex tasks, and facilitate seamless collaboration between various AI agents. From digital assistants to physical robots, AI agents are expected to revolutionize both work and personal life.

HONOR has been actively advancing its AI initiatives. At IFA 2024, the company introduced its on-device AI Agent for the open ecosystem, alongside its AI-powered deepfake detection technology. These innovations highlight HONOR’s commitment to building responsible and efficient AI solutions.

This year, HONOR’s AI Agent solution will be unveiled alongside a comprehensive roadmap for global implementation. This milestone underscores the company’s ambition to play a leading role in the evolution of mobile AI, shaping the future of intelligent, interconnected devices. 

HONOR will share more details on its AI ALPHA PLAN during a keynote at MWC 2025. The event is scheduled for Sunday, March 2nd, at 16:30 CET. To stay updated on HONOR’s latest announcements at MWC, follow the official HONOR @ MWC 2025 page and social media channels.

Sony cuts the price of PS VR2 to $400

Sony is permanently reducing the price of the PlayStation VR2. Starting in March, the headset will cost $400, €450 and £400 — down from $550, €600 and £530, respectively. Included in the price cut is the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, which, like the standard package, will cost $400, €450 or £400 depending on your region. While it’s been possible to buy the PS VR2 for less than $400 during recent sales, the new pricing should give retailers the flexibility to discount the device even more aggressively down the road.

It’s hard to say what this means for the future of the PS VR2. Arguably, it was too expensive at launch, and at $400, it still costs more than the Meta Quest 3S, a standalone headset that doesn’t require a PlayStation 5 or PC to power it. Sony recently added support for low-latency hand tracking, but overall the company doesn’t appear keen on investing more time and money into the platform. Major first-party studios haven’t made many games for the PS VR2, and those that have, including the creators of Call of the Mountain, have seen layoffs in recent months.

Apple AirTag four-packs drop to a new record-low price

Now’s the time to pick up a couple more AirTags. Amazon’s having a sale right now that brings a four-pack of AirTags down to $68, which is 31 percent off and a new record low. That brings the price per AirTag down to only $17, which is a far cry from the standard $29 price for one. If you’ve wanted an extra one of these Bluetooth trackers for your backpack, luggage or wallet, picking up a four pack now will get you the best price we’ve seen.

AirTags are easily one of the best Bluetooth trackers you can buy today, especially if you’re an iOS user — setting them up and connecting them to your account is pretty much a one-tap affair. The Find My network is vast, what with all the iPhones and AirTags already out there, helping you find a belonging that you’re tracking if you lose it. 

When you’re looking for an item, you can play a sound on the AirTag’s built-in speaker from your iPhone to help you find it. If you have a newer phone, the AirTag’s Ultra Wideband technology can even lead you right to it if it’s nearby. You’ll be able to see exactly how far you are from the tag, and you’ll get directions on your device’s screen. Take note that since AirTags are round, coin-like objects with no way to attach to an item on their own, you’ll have to get accessories to be able to use them as keychains or to attach them to your pets’ collars.

One of our favorite Baseus power banks is more than $50 off right now

Here’s a great deal on one of our favorite power banks. You can pick up the skinny Baseus Blade for $47.59 with the help of our exclusive code. That’s 52 percent off the regular price of $100. To get the full discount, you’ll need to clip the 10 percent coupon on the product page. Then, at checkout, be sure to use the code BGAEY8HX to get the full discount.

The Baseus Blade is our pick for the best budget laptop power bank. Thanks to the slim form factor and light weight (it’s just over a pound), it’s easy to slip into a bag next to your laptop. It has a decent array of ports, with two USB-C and two USB-A slots. There’s support for 100W fast charging via the USB-C ports. You can also track charging speed and time on an LED display.

The power bank has a capacity of 20,000mAh, which is enough to charge a fifth-gen iPad Air 1.5 times over or a 14-inch MacBook Pro to 80 percent, per Baseus. In our testing, we found that it could top up a 16-inch MacBook Pro’s battery from 10 percent to 62 percent in just over an hour. You can also use it to juice up a portable games console, such as a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck.

There’s certainly a trade off compared with beefier power banks that have a larger capacity. But in terms of bang for your buck, the Baseus Blade isn’t bad at all, especially when you factor in the convenience of the slim, 0.7-inch design.
