Most photo recovery software is enterprise-focused, so you’ve got to buy to use properly, but PhotoRec is an open-source alternative that combines its free price with solid features. Its open-source status doesn’t just mean that it’s free, either. That designation means that people can view, access and contribute to the app’s development. You’d be remiss to look down on this app because of its free stature. In many key areas, the data recovery software features mirror or even exceed the abilities you’ll find in premium products.  PhotoRec: Plans & pricing It’s free - when it comes to affordability, you can’t say fairer than that  This is an open source app, so it’s free to use – just like TestDisk . Indeed, if you download one, you’ll get the other included in the package. And don’t expect any different plans available elsewhere, as this is one product with one set of features. If you do use PhotoRec for restoring your photos and you’d like to contribute to the ...

One minute review The Dreo Pilot Max is a powerful oscillating tower fan that offers users a variety of speeds, modes and oscillation degrees to adapt to different preferences. This fan has been designed to offer extreme cooling as quietly as possible. Its minimal footprint is also a draw: it stands tall at 42 inches / 107 cm but takes up barely any floor space.  Australian-based brand Dreo is best known for its tower fans. Released in 2022, the Dreo Pilot Max Tower Fan is the brand's latest model, improving upon its predecessor in a number of areas. It follows the Dreo Pilot Pro, which delivered nine speeds versus the Max’s 12 speeds, and 90-degree oscillation versus the Max’s 120 degrees. The Dreo Pilot Max arrives with the brand’s all-new brushless DC motor, which can operate as quietly as 25db. The fan is also designed to adapt its fan speed to the ambient temperature through its Auto mode, but users can customize to their heart's content via Dreo’s user-friendly app, a...

Two-minute review The Moto G82 is part of a venerable family. For years, the Moto G series made our job pretty easy. Looking for a budget Android? Then buy the latest Moto G – advice that has stood for years. In 2022, though, there have been too many Motorola phones released for the average person to keep up, and there’s now much greater competition from brands such as Realme, Xiaomi and OnePlus.  However, the essence of the old Moto G spirit lives on in the Moto G82. It’s a sensible, reliable and uncluttered phone that comes with a fairly large OLED screen, 5G mobile internet, a decent amount of storage and stereo speakers, all at an appealing price.  This particular model is spiced up with OIS (optical image stabilization), but this doesn’t elevate the camera to anything like the level of the Pixel 6a. While OIS counters against taking blurry images indoors, the Moto G82 camera doesn’t perform brilliantly at night, plus has weaker hardware than some of its slightly pric...

The Greatest Beer Run Ever: key information - Available now on Apple TV Plus - Based on the true story of John “Chickie” Donohue, who traveled to Vietnam to hand-deliver a beer to all his friends serving in the war - Written and directed by Green Book Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly - Stars Zac Efron as Chickie - Russell Crowe and Bill Murray have supporting roles Vietnam changed the way Hollywood dealt with war. Where World War II movies had predominantly celebrated Allied soldiers (aka the good guys) overcoming the forces of evil, the long-running conflict in the Far East wasn’t quite so easy to pigeon hole. Many of the best Vietnam movies (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Platoon) were made within a decade or so of the war ending, when it was still raw and very much part of the public consciousness. As a result, filmmakers weren’t just exploring the horrors of war, but the social consequences and political motivations of battles fought on the other side of the world. You’d h...

One-minute review Made in partnership with single-serve coffee machine pioneer Philips, the new L’OR Barista Sublime boasts some useful features not commonly associated with pod coffee machines. This type of machine is a popular choice, and is often found on any number of the best coffee machine roundups, since it’s highly rated for ease of use and delicious results. Launched in August 2022, the L’OR Barista Sublime has been created in collaboration with designer Khodi Feiz. It has a unique double-spouted design, which allows you to make two drinks at the same time, and it accepts the new and exclusive L’OR Barista XXL capsules, which contain twice the amount of the smaller capsules. The new coffee machine is also compatible with L’OR espresso single-shot capsules and most Nespresso Original pods, so it could now be up there with some of the best Nespresso machines, too. Helpfully, L’OR capsules are readily available in the majority of supermarkets. A team of coffee artists create...

Two-minute review Kodak Step Specs Film format: 2x3in Zink zero ink Sensor: 10MP Lens: Fixed-focus, f/2.8 Shooting modes: Colour, sepia, monochrome, self-timer Viewfinder: optical, fixed Battery: li-on rechargeable It was once one of the camera world's biggest brands, but Kodak is a relative unknown when it comes to present-day instant photography. The hybrid Kodak Step is hoping to change that and force its way into our guide to the best instant cameras . Unlike rivals Fuji Instax and Polaroid, the Step eschews analogue film for Zink, or 'Zero Ink', prints. Each one has layers of cyan, magenta and yellow ink embedded in the paper, and reacts to heat to produce images.  It relies on a digital sensor, so isn't as authentic as true instant film, but is significantly cheaper, and the cameras that use it are physically smaller. Essentially, you're getting most of the fun of instant at a much lower price. Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Future ...
