Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid.
Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry.
✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack

#1 Force 1 U45W Blue Jay (#3096 #1 #12)
$129.99 - Best FPV Drone
The first drone we’d like to introduce is the Force 1 U45W Blue Jay. This
drone has a lot of great features for a beginner model, such as high-quality
FPV capabilities.
The main draw of this drone is the great FPV settings. The first-person-
view syncs with either your smartphone or a VR headset, and you can
watch the world from the drone cockpit after syncing. This FPV is easy to
ease, and it’s intuitive for smartphone users.
3. The Blue Jay has a built-in HD camera. It can capture 720p photos and
videos with a 2MP camera. It’s even possible to do 360° views with this
camera, which is great for VR users. Photos can be saved directly to your
synced phone; videos save to the memory card.
The Blue Jay is very beginner friendly because of the easy, custom
controls. It’s possible to auto-hover after takeoff and land gently with just
one button push. You can also draw a custom route on your smartphone,
and your drone will fly the route itself.
Like many drones in this price range, the batteries leave much to be
desired. While you should get 8 minutes of flight time when the drone is
new, these batteries may wear out after a few uses and will need to be
replaced. The Blue Jay comes with two batteries and an extra power pack.
If you want a high-quality FPV drone, this is the right choice. Even as a
beginner, hooking this drone up to your phone is easy so that you can get
a cockpit experience. Fly around and see everything as it happens with the
Force 1 U45W Blue Jay drone.
Pros
• Easy-to-control one button flight options
• Great for beginners
• Built-in, HD camera
• FPV syncs to phone for easy viewing
• Lightweight
Cons
• Batteries wear out after a few uses; will need to replace often
• FPV video gets choppy at long distances
4. #2 Holy Stone F181 (#728 #4) $109 - Best
Beginner Controls & Durability
The next drone to check out is the Holy Stone F181, usually just known as
the F181. This drone with a built-in camera has a number of controls that
make it easy to control, even if this is your first time flying a drone. Even if
you wreck it, it should keep flying.
The controls that this drone comes with are very easy for beginners to use.
You can fly the drone in four different modes - from 25% to 100% - to fit
every level. Headless mode also helps beginners keep their drone under
control.
The F181 is very durable; it can stand up to a number of bumps and
crashes. This is ideal for the beginner and intermediate drone pilot who are
still learning to do tricks and fly. The kit also comes with extra propellers.
The battery charges in about 80 minutes, and the F181 comes standard
with two batteries, which is great for when you won’t want to stop flying
after just 8 minutes of flight time. The transmitter has its own set of
batteries which you will also need to replace as needed.
One potential drawback of this drone is the camera quality. While you can
capture videos and photos, the quality isn’t sufficient for semi-professional
aerial video. Still, the camera is very easy to use and great for beginners.
When looking for a drone that will stand up to you learning how to fly it, try
the F181 by Holy Stone. This is a holy grail product among beginner drone
users because of how easy it is to learn to fly. The controls will help teach
you how to fly, and it’s a difficult drone to break.
Pros
• Comes with multiple batteries and chargers
• Can be flown at 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% for all skill levels
5. • Detachable camera
• Durable propellers and comes standard with extra propellers
Cons
• Batteries must be charged via USB
• Camera quality is lower than other similar models
#3 DBPOWER MJX X400W (#545 #3) $69.99 -
Great Drone For Recreational Fun
The DBPOWER MJX X400W drone is also known as the The Hawkeye-
VII. It is one of the best drones under 100. You can get awesome 360-
degree views with this beginner quadcopter.
What makes this drone great for the new, recreational drone pilot is its
durability. You’re going to crash when you first learn to control your drone,
and this drone can take that damage well. There are even spare rotors
included so you can replace anything that gets bent.
Another nice aspect of this recreational drone is that it has a good range.
The drone will fly without issue at up to 100m in open areas, and you can
expect up to 50 to 60m in busier areas. If you are using the FPV or flying at
night, the transmission distance will be reduced.
The manual gives a great explanation of how to use this drone. Reading it
will teach you how to sync the drone with the controller, how to use the
controls, and how to sync the controller to your phone or headset. All of
this is easy to do with the detailed instructions DBPOWER.
One negative of this recreational drone is the camera quality. Capturing
visuals at only 0.3MP, you cannot expect high-quality images. Still, you
can enjoy seeing what your drone sees despite it not being the best among
drones with camera options.
6. Easy-to-control and easy-to-fly, this drone is great for those who want to
try out the hobby of drone flying without spending a lot of money. For
recreational purposes, this drone has everything you need.
Pros
• Headless mode available, making controlling easier
• FPV can connect through phone or VR headset
• Easy to fly with good controls
• Good range
• Durable
Cons
• Poor camera quality
• Fixed camera; cannot adjust angle
• Very lightweight; not great for use in windy conditions
#4 DBPOWER UDI U842 (#2505 #1) $121.99 -
Best Beginner Drone
If you are a beginner or intermediate pilot looking to work on your drone
control skills, the DBPOWER UDI U842 is the right drone for you. This
model exceeds many other of the best drones under 200 for its flying
control, intuitive design, and overall performance.
The learning curve on this drone is very short. Once you power it up and
review the controls, you’ll be able to pilot it in no time. While you might
crash at first, your number of crashes will reduce quickly. There are
different modes for beginners and more advanced learners to fly in.
7. Another great feature for beginners is how rugged this drone is. You’re
going to crash it from time to time, and this drone can take a beating. It is
rather large but still lightweight, so it doesn’t fall apart when you have to let
it drop.
The U842 has LED night lights on the nose. This helps you to enjoy flying
at night and still be able to orient which direction you are flying in. Plus, the
lights look cool!
One big drawback of the U842 drone is how long it takes the batteries to
charge. Most drone batteries take between 70 and 100 minutes, but this
battery takes 150 minutes to charge. Still, backup batteries are available,
and you get around 9 minutes of flight time for each battery.
The best beginner drone is, without a doubt, the UDI U842 by DBPOWER.
The controls on this drone are easy to understand and will help you learn
how to work a drone. Using this model is fun and practical for users of all
experience levels.
Pros
• Easy to learn how to pilot this drone
• Useful LED night lights on nose tip
• Very durable
• Flight time is good for the price
• Includes backup battery
Cons
• Batteries take 150 minutes to charge
• Lightweight model susceptible to moving in the wind
8. #5 UDI U818A (#3658 #13 #454) $89.95 - Best
Value Bundle Deal
UDI makes a fantastic drone known as the U818A. While the controls on
this drone are worth mentioning, the best thing is all the add-ons. This
model comes as a great value bundle, making it one of the best drones
under 100.
The bundle comes with all the power you need: two batteries, an external
power bank and a two battery charger. Plus, you get four extra drone
blades, a 4GB SD card, and an SD card reader. All of these add-ons are
necessary for the new drone pilot.
This model has great maneuverability thanks to the 6-axis gyro feature.
The gyro provides extra stability and wind resistance while also making the
drone easier to control. Headless mode also helps to make directing the
drone very simple.
Another reason this is such a great value drone is because it is durable.
Even if you run it into trees or expose it to elements such as snow, it will
keep running. It is great for the hobbyist who wants to learn to fly without
worrying about ruining their drone.
The wind can be a big issue with this model because it is so light. If the
wind is stronger than 5 MPH, cross winds might carry this model out of
range, and you will lose control. One great way to fix potential wind
problems is to always reset the gyro before flying.
Purchasing the UDI U818A drone is a great value buy. For a small price,
you get a durable drone with a lot of extra parts and batteries. Everything
the hobbyist needs is included with this set.
Pros
• Value bundle comes with extra supplies
• Two batteries and two-battery charger included
9. • Easy to maneuver
• Very durable
Cons
• No FPV
• Winds over 5MPH dangerous to this model
#6 RCtown (#4708 #18) $119 - Best Flying Time
The MJX Bugs 3 Quadcopter is a brushless drone made by RCtown. This
model has the longest flying time of any other drone on our best drones list
today at over 15 minutes. The fun will never end with this drone!
The real draw of this drone is it’s lengthy flight time. Without a camera
attached, this drone can fly for 18 to 20 minutes. With a camera, it will fly
for between 13 and 16 minutes. On top of that, the drone comes with a
backup battery.
Another nice aspect of this drone is the long range it has. At peak
performance, the drone can fly up to 500m. You can reach these distances
when in open areas. The transmitter has a feature to indicate when the
drone is nearly out of range so you can pull it back.
The MJX Bugs 3 has an amazing brushless motor. This prevents excess
friction within the parts, helping the motor last longer. Since you may be
mounting an expensive camera on this drone, the reliability from the
brushless motor is very important.
On negative of this particular drone is that there is no included camera.
Rather than a camera, this drone sports a camera holder. This is good and
bad. You can choose what camera quality you want and attach it to the
drone, such as Gopro, but that will be at your own additional expense.
If you’re looking for a drone that can fly far and for a long time, this is the
right choice. Many beginner drones cannot fly for more than 8 minutes.
10. This drone nearly doubles both flight time and range from other sub-200
models.
Pros
• Long flying time at 15 to 18 minutes, on average
• Brushless motor more reliable, not as likely to fail
• Great range
• Easy to control
Cons
• No built-in camera, support gopro
• Need additional receptor for FPV monitoring
• No headless mode
#7 Holy Stone HS200 FPV (#6965 #31) $89.99 -
Best Budget Drone
In terms of budget, the Holy Stone HS200 FPV drone is top among the
best drones under 200. This drone does not cost much, but it still has
many features that every recreational drone pilot will want to try out.
Many drones at this low of a price point do not have FPV, first person view,
capabilities. This drone does. All you do is sync your phone or VR goggles
to the drone, and you can experience the cockpit view. This feature is very
easy to use and makes piloting more fun.
The HS200 comes equipped with extra features that are great for beginner
and intermediate pilots. One button take-off is possible with this drone.
Simply push the button, and it will hover at 3 feet above the ground,
awaiting more commands.
11. Durability is not an issue with the HS200. This drone can stand up to many
crashes, and it even comes for a few extra props just in case. Since the
drone is light, high drops do not cause heavy damage. Your fun won’t end
with a broken drone.
This drone kit does not come with any extra batteries, so you will have to
buy your own. Buying at least three extra batteries and a high-quality
charger will be enough to make sure you can extend your drone fun.
The HS200 is a drone that can be crashed time and time again, and it will
still work. The FPV makes it a very fun drone to pilot. Every beginner on a
budget will have a blast with this drone.
Pros
• FPV works well
• One button take-off and landing
• Altitude hold feature
• Durable
Cons
• Does not come with backup batteries
#8 Holy Stone HS300 (#20883 #97) $199 - Best
Camera Drone
A slight upgrade from the HS200, the HS300 is another great drone from
Holy Stone. This drone features the nicest camera that you can get from
the best drones under 200.
The real draw of this drone is the impressive camera capable of creating
nice aerial footage.The 5MP camera can record 1080p videos at 30fps.
The camera also features a 120-degree wide angle lens for the best
panoramic shots.
12. This drone has a decent flight time at 8 to 12 minutes, and the drone
comes with a backup battery so you do not need to purchase one.
Depending on local interference, this means that you can fly for between
20 and 30 minutes without needing to recharge anything.
The HS300 is larger and heavier than other drones under 200. This weight
helps the drone compete with stronger winds and stand up to damage.
Some of that weight is in the propeller guards and landing gear, which help
the durability.
Despite its nice camera, this drone does not offer FPV (first person view).
You cannot see what your drone is seeing, which can make filming hard. It
is, however, possible to swap the camera out for one with WiFi capabilities
to fix this issue if you need FPV.
If you are on a tight budget and want to create cool aerial shots, this is the
drone for you. The impressive camera and reliable performance are all the
beginner drone photographer needs to get started.
Pros
• 5MP camera can capture 1080p video at 30 fps
• 120-degree wide angle camera lens
• Can fly in strong winds
• Comes with backup battery
Cons
• No FPV monitoring
#9 Kidcia (#26610 #2) $109 - Best Portable Drone
Another brand not yet mentioned, Kidcia, makes a beginner quadcopter
with FPV live camera options that is foldable, and thus, very portable. This
model is easy to bring along with you on any trip.
13. The Kidcia has a nice, lightweight design with foldable arms. You can
make it very compact by folding in the propeller, and then this is easy to
bring along on any trip. You don’t even need the main controller; the drone
can be controlled from your phone on its own.
Another cool feature you’ll only find with the Kidcia is the Gravity Sensor
feature. This feature syncs the drone to move in the same way that your
phone moves. Simply move your phone in the desired direction, and the
drone will follow along.
The battery life on this drone is better than many others at this price point,
though it still isn’t the number one option. You can fly the drone for 10 plus
minutes without issue. With an extra battery or two, you’ll be able to fly to
your heart’s content.
One big negative on this model is the camera quality. At only 0.5MPs, the
quality of any video and photos captured will not be very good. Still, the
camera can be used for FPV viewing via the app on a phone, which is a
nice touch.
The Kidcia quadcopter has foldable arms, making it the most portable
drone at this price point. Use it to explore the world and learn how to fly,
anywhere you go.
Pros
• Lightweight and portable
• Arms fold into the drone
• Gravity Sensor feature syncs with phone
• Flight time at 10+ minutes
Cons
• Low-quality camera at 0.5MPs
14. • Doesn’t come with extra battery
#10 DJI Spark (#29) $469 - Best Premium Drone
Our reviewers know that this drone may be over your budget, but if you
have the money for it, this is the drone to go for. DJI is the number one
consumer drone company, and this drone is great for beginners at a
reasonable price for its premier features.
QuickShot is one of the best features this drone has. This feature helps
you get the best aerial shots, such as circling the substance or rapidly
rocketing into the air. You can also use ActiveTrack to follow your subjects
with less effort.
The Spark has a maximum speed of 31MPH, and the 2-axis gimbal will
keep the camera still enough for nice aerial shots at those speeds. The
stabilization is impressive on such a small model, and you can expect
smooth shots.
When using your phone, this drone can fly to an impressive range of
100m. If you are using the dedicated controller, you can reach up to 1.2
km, which is a huge distance for such a small drone.
One negative of this model is that you cannot take full advantage of all of
the modes and features without buying the dedicated controller. Still,
controlling the drone is easy with your phone until you decide to advance
to the controller.
The DJI Spark isn’t the number one drone from DJI, but it is a drone to be
reckoned with. The features it squeezes into its compact size are
impressive, and any pilot would have a lot to enjoy with this drone.
Pros
• Range of up to 1.2km
• 2-axis gimbal keeps video stable
15. • QuickShot helps you get great cinematic videos and photos
• ActiveTrack follows a subject automatically
Cons
• Need to have the dedicated controller to use all the features
Buyer’s Guide
The best drones under 200 can offer the beginner and intermediate drone
pilot a unique experience. These drones are easier to fly than cheaper or
more expensive drones because of their simplified but sturdy features.
Additionally, they have enough durability to let you learn how to fly, even if
you crash a few times.
Still, choosing one product out of many can be difficult. So, our buyer’s
guide will break down the major features seen among the best drones.
Expected Features Of Drones In This Price Range
Most drones that cost less than 200 will be equipped with the following
features:
• Take HD Photos & Videos
• First Person View: You can see the drone’s point of view from a
controller.
• Acrobatics: The drones can do flips and rolls. Not fast enough to
race.
Camera & Camera Quality
One reason that many beginners and intermediates use drones is to
capture impressive photos or videos. When choosing between drones with
camera features, you should check out the camera specs.
16. The first thing to note is that not all drones have built-in cameras. Some
only have the space for a camera, and you must add one yourself. This
can be an added expense in terms of both time and money.
Most beginners will want to go with a drone that has a built-in camera.
Most built-in cameras have limited photo and video quality.
Always check the specs of the camera on the drones you are looking at.
You will want to check the megapixel rating of the camera and also what
video settings it can record in. The best drones will have a gimbal to
stabilize any images or video taken while the drone is flying.
Flight Time
Flight time of the most expensive drones can last for more than 25 or 30
minutes, but sub-200 drones will never be able to fly for that long. You can
expect average batteries in these drones to last for between 7 and 12
minutes of flight time.
Buy backup batteries and have them all fully charged. When initial flight
time is up, change to the next set to play with your drone longer without
needing to recharge anything.
Range
Another important feature to consider is the range that the drone can
cover. Range is how far the drone can fly from the controller.
While models at the top end of this price point many be able to fly up to
500 meters, most will top out around 100 meters. How many meters do
you want to cover with your drone? Decide this, and then narrow your
selections.
What Are So-Called FPV Drones?
Some drones are known as FPV Drones. This means that you have FPV,
or first person view, while controlling them.
FPV drones may show you FPV on the controller, or you may be able to
experience this view via an app. Either way, you get the real cockpit
experience along with your drone.
17. If you get a non-FPV drone, you won’t have a first person view. You won’t
be able to see what the drone is seeing in real time since there is no
display.
Personal preference dictates whether or not you should look for an FPV
drone. However, many beginner and intermediate drone pilots find FPV to
be the most exciting part of flying.
Conclusion
All of these drones work if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck as
a beginner. You don’t need more than a basic drone when you are first
taking flight, and all of these drones will give you hours of fun without
spending too much money.
As you become a more skilled drone pilot, you can upgrade to a more
expensive device such as the DJI Spark (#29), as this drone is suited for
the experienced beginner who wants to try out more advanced features.
