Insta360's face-tracking Link webcams have hit their lowest prices yet
If you're looking to upgrade your work-from-home setup, the Insta360 Link and Link 2 are gimbal-equipped 4K webcams packed with features to improve how you present in video calls. Now through June 8th, both are down to all-time low prices, with the original Link selling for $149.99 (originally $299.99, but typically priced at $179.99) and the Link 2 on sale for $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon. Each of these 4K/30fps cameras stand out thanks to having a 0.5-inch Sony sensor that's mounted on a motorized, three-axis gimbal. This can help to keep you centered in the frame as you move around the room, while also letting you capture content from multiple angles with its useful software features, if you so choose. Their AI-powered framing tool, for example, can automatically zoom in on your head, upper body, or full body, depending on your distance from the webcam. They can also tilt slightly downward with the DeskView mode to highlight what's on your desk, or tilt straight down for overhead mode. The whiteboard mode uses special stickers to identify (and remain locked on) to a whiteboard, making it perfect for presentations. The aforementioned features are present in all Link webcams. However, the smaller, newer Link 2 model adds a couple of new upgrades, like a magnetic mount, more hand gesture controls, and group tracking to keep multiple presenters in the frame (the first-gen Link can only focus on one person at a time). Users can also now designate no-follow zones where the camera won't track movement. Insta360 Link $150$30050% off The Link is a premium-level webcam that offers a gimbal, impressive software, and great value. $150 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) Insta360 Link 2 $170$20015% off The Insta360 Link 2 offers the same auto-swiveling design as its predecessor, but is now smaller with new features like group tracking and no-follow zones. $170 at Amazon (with on-page coupon) More deals worth a look The unlocked Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus with 256GB of storage is on sale in select colors for $749.99 ($150 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. The S25 Plus features a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, which is larger and sharper than the standard model's, plus it has a bigger battery that lasts all day. It's otherwise similar to the S25, offering a robust IP68 dust and water resistance, a good camera system, and seven years of software updates. Read our review. You can grab a five-pack of Anker's USB-C to USB-C cables for $12.99 ($5 off) at Amazon, matching their all-time low price. Each six-foot cable supports up to 60W fast charging, making them great for powering phones, tablets, some laptops, and other USB-C devices, like the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck. They also feature a durable, tangle-resistant nylon-braided design that should be able to withstand everyday wear and tear better than your standard cable. The M4-powered Mac Mini is on sale starting at $488.63 ($111 off) at Amazon, which is an all-time low price on the desktop computer. Despite being smaller than its predecessor, it's more powerful and includes 16GB of RAM by default. It now supports up to three displays – up from two – and offers a solid port selection that still includes 3.5mm audio jack. So long as you don't mind supplying your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse, it's a great value at this price.

Plan to improve bus connections to hospital
Plans have been drawn up to improve bus connections from parts of Derby to the city's main hospital. Derby City Council is working with bus firm Notts & Derby to add more Link 2 services between the city centre and the Royal Derby Hospital via Mickleover and Mackworth. The move will be paid for by government funding through the council's Bus Service Improvement Plan. Carmel Swan, cabinet member for transport, said it was hoped the changes would make it easier for staff to get to and from work. Alterations to the existing Link 2 route will see the service head into the city centre and back to the hospital via the A52 Ashbourne Road. The service will also run every hour and "complement hospital shift times". The council is carrying out an ongoing review of the city's bus network with priority placed on enhancing links to key destinations such as the hospital. Swan said: "As a council, we are committed to creating a greener, better-connected city. "It is enhancements like this that give our communities better, more sustainable options. Notts & Derby manager Stuart Frost said: "We are really looking forward to providing a reliable service to the residents of Mackworth and Mickelover to hopefully make their connections much easier."
