I Flew Insta360’s First Drone With a 360-Degree Camera, and It’s DJI’s Worst Nightmare

Screw merely flying a drone; what if you were the drone? You’re a nimble robot buzzing over those rooted pedestrians far below. Above you is blue sky, below the dry ground, and all around you open expanse and a curving horizon. You can see it all, as if you were a head in a jar looking through an impossible dome. Insta360, a company that’s spearheaded 360-degree cameras as an alternative to today’s GoPros, got into drones the only way it knew how—by sticking twin, fish-eye lenses on an unmanned

I know my way around a pair of joysticks — but I’d prefer to soar. I don’t want to think about filming while I’m flying. I’d rather explore. Now, camera maker Insta360 is launching its first drone, under a new drone company, to serve that exact demand. It’s called Antigravity, and in January 2026, it’ll ship a flying 360-degree camera whic

A new poverty line shifted the World Bank's poverty data. What changed and why?

$3 a day: A new poverty line has shifted the World Bank’s data on extreme poverty. What changed, and why? In June 2025, the World Bank increased its extreme poverty estimates by 125 million people. This doesn’t mean the world has gotten poorer: it reflects a new, higher International Poverty Line of $3 a day, up from $2.15. To track progress towards ending extreme poverty by 2030, the United Nations relies on the World Bank to estimate the share of people living below a certain threshold, calle

What I look for in typeface licenses

Typeface licenses Process Journal I can’t remember the last time I undertook a design project where we didn’t use a commercial typeface. I often recommend these to clients because: The world of commercial typefaces is broad and it opens up a range of high-quality options for a project Using a commercial typeface is an easy way to level-up a design (though it won’t fix a bad design) Supporting independent foundries is important There’s no judgement on open source typefaces – I’m often pairi

‘New Panty & Stocking’ Just Tackled the Gen Z-Millennial Divide in the Most Absurd Style

Its latest episode prominently highlights the contentious generational divide between Millennials and Gen Z. In its sixth episode, titled “The Brothers from Heaven,” the anime slows down its compilation of short stories to present a unified narrative filled with pop culture references throu

Report: Apple planning ecosystem of home security devices to compete with Ring and Nest

A new report from Bloomberg dives deep into Apple’s plans to lean on artificial intelligence as a way to expand into robotics, home security, and smart displays. One interesting tidbit in the report is that Apple is aiming to develop a system of smart home cameras and other home security products to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Ring brand.

The Pandemic Didn’t Actually Spike America’s Anxiety, Study Finds

The covid-19 pandemic was a horrific and earth-shattering world event. But it may not have scarred our collective psyche as profoundly as you would think. New research indicates that the pandemic didn’t spike Americans’ overall anxiety. Scientists at the University of Virginia led the study, which examined a decade’s worth of survey data. They found evidence that our anxiety levels didn’t significantly shift in the first years of the pandemic. People’s mental fortitude during the pandemic was p

What's Your Curl Type? (2025)

Like, for instance, how to brush them. My mother has straight hair and didn't quite understand how to deal with my curls when I was a child, so she would deal with unruly hair the only way she knew how: by brushing it. As a result, I look like a poodle in nearly every one of my elementary school photos. According to Syed, brushing and combing curly hair is OK—but only when the hair is wet. Unsurprisingly, pin-straight Type 1 hair is the easiest to comb or brush. However, Type 4 hair is not four
