0
Windows 10 is a highly robust operating system. However, it may still face issues like a file system corruption that may be caused by several reasons. These include power loss, unsafe removal of a drive, or system crash. System Restore is a process that is opted to restore the file system to a previous snapshot and thus, prevent data loss. When data corruption or an installation failure occurs, the System Restore command takes the file system to a previously saved state so that you do not need to reinstall the Windows again.

When does System Restore become necessary?

The System Restore command is useful when a computer virus damages your system’s file system. When the file system gets corrupted, you face issues in accessing your files and folders. The System Restore feature reinstates a previous image of the file system. Modern malicious programs like Ransomware block the Safe mode. As a result, you cannot restore your file system from the Control Panel. The only way left is to use the Command Prompt.

How to run the System Restore command using the Command Prompt?

The System Restore command works the same across different Windows versions including Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. To execute the System Restore using the Command Prompt, follow these steps.
  • Go to the Start Menu and search for Command Prompt. Launch the App. Alternatively, press the Windows + R key combination. Type ‘cmd’ and hit Enter.

Google is now widely rolling out Google Lens to Google Photos via desktop Web browsers, to allow copy text from images

Last year Google rolled out AI features for its Google Photos app, which includes allowing users to search for text within the photos as well as screenshots. The Google Lens feature permits the user to copy the text that appears in the photos and paste that text onto a document or a note also known as OCR. Now in a new development, the search giant is extending this feature for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers.  According to a report by 9to5Google the tech major is now making Google Lens available for Google Photos on desktop Web browsers. This will allow users to use the feature to copy the text in the images or screenshots and further paste it into a document or a note file. The functionality used in optical character recognition (OCR) is capable of copying text from any image. The option to copy the text from the image will appear on the left along with other options such as share, edit, zoom and others.  Once you find the photo you’re looking for, click the Lens button to easily copy and paste the text. Earlier this feature was available for the mobile-based app version on Android and iOS both, but now the AI-powered Lens camera identifies the context of a picture. The functionality is now widely rolled out to the desktop web inside Google Photos, too.   As per the publisher, the AI feature does not help people explore their images and memories. When you open an image including words will show up a “Copy text from image” suggestion chip that features the Lens logo as well as the remove button. Tapping on it will enable the Google Lens with the same analysis animation of pulsating dots appearing over the picture for a brief second. Moreover, you can also “Deselect text” from the top-right corner in order to just highlight specific passages and copy with a floating button over the image. Whereas for the mobile platform, you need to tap on the search bar and type the text that you are searching for. For instance, you are looking for a photo that you took some time ago of a name card. All you have to do is type the name in the search bar. When doing so Google will show up the text found within the image then tap on it. Then you need to tap on the Google lens button placed at the bottom of the screen. Now whatever you have searched will appear in a text highlighted in the photo or the screenshot.

Mozilla Firefox will cease to support Amazon’s Fire TV and Echo Show devices on April 30, 2021

Mozilla Corporation, a free software community, recently announced that its free and open-source web browser, Firefox will cease to support the Amazon Echo Fire TV and the Echo Show devices starting from April 30, 2021. According to Mozilla Corporation, “If you have Firefox set as your default browser on Echo Show, you will be redirected to Amazon Silk for web browsing starting April 30, 2021″.

Why does Mozilla want to end its support to the Amazon Fire TV?

Mozilla released its support to the Amazon Fire TV in the backdrop of delisting of YouTuube from all Amazon devices in 2017. Google had stated that the decision was based on the “lack of reciprocity.” At the time, a spokesperson of Google had said, “Amazon doesn’t carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn’t make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest’s latest products.”

What changes will be observed by the Amazon Fire TV users?

Several users of the Amazon Fire TV have received notifications regarding the Firefox browser. According to Amazon, after the end of the support, the Firefox app will be deleted from the Amazon Appstore. As a result, users using the Fire TV will not be able to install Firefox.

Rumours are rife regarding the upcoming iPhone have started to surface as Apple’s launch event is approaching. In the past eight years, the 2020 launch event was the only one without an iPhone. As a result, the speculations regarding the launch of the iPhone 13 may turn into reality.

What are the rumoured features of the iPhone 13?

Design

The design of the iPhone 13 is rumoured to be like that of its predecessor. Moreover, the company may release the smartphone in the same size variants as the iPhone 12. The notch is a peculiar feature of the iPhone. However, in the upcoming smartphone, we may find a much thinner notch.

Display

Apple iPhone 13 may get an always-on display as we find in the Apple Watch. It may always display the time and the remaining battery percentage, and notifications. The smartphone may feature a 120Hz display that would enhance the scrolling and gaming experiences. The display may be designed with LTPO technology to consume minimum power.

Camera

The zoom feature of the iPhone 12 was a major drawback as compared to other premium smartphones like the Samsung S21 Ultra. The iPhone 12 offers an optical zoom of only 2.5x while the latter provides a zooming capability of up to 100x. The iPhone 12 may get an enhanced zoom feature. Moreover, the company is rumoured to be working on an ultrawide-angle lens with a larger aperture.

Touch ID

Touch ID used to be a renowned feature of the iPhone. However, Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max feature the Face ID and not the Touch ID. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 13 may get an under-display touch sensor. This will serve as an alternate ID to the FaceID.

The launch of iPhones usually takes place in September. Considering that the launch event takes place on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the iPhone 13 may get released around September 15, 2021.

How much will the iPhone 13 cost?

The price of the iPhone 12 starts at ₹ 67,100 for the Mini version and reaches as high as ₹ 139,900 for the Pro Max version. The iPhone 13 is rumoured to be an improvement over its predecessor. It may just come equipped with features that the iPhone 12 lacked like Touch ID, 120Hz display, and enhanced zoom.

Nokia 5.4 review: Left us with mixed bag of feelings

Nokia 5.4 smartphone, that was launched a few weeks back by HMD Global at a starting price of Rs 13,999, comes with a much talked about H-Log video feature. Other than that, the device also comes with a 4,000mAh battery, four rear cameras and a 6.39-inch display. Is the smartphone as good as it sounds? Find out in our Nokia 5.4 review:

Nokia 5.4 design and display

The design of Nokia 5.4 smartphone is definitely among its pros. Even though the body of the handset is made of plastic, it didn’t seem like a downside to us because the built was sturdy. The back panel of the smartphone has the camera module in the centre with an LED flash on its left, and there is also a fingerprint scanner right below it. The back also has Nokia branding right in the centre. The device has a curved body that makes one-handed usage very simple. The Power and the Volume Rocker keys are placed on the right edge while the SIM tray and the Google Assistant button are on the left. The top has the 3.5mm headphone jack and the secondary microphone and the bottom edge has the Type-C port, the speaker grill, and the microphone. Nokia 5.4 review 2 Flip over and you will see the 6.39-inch display of the smartphone. Although the display resolution is HD+ and there are other smartphones in the same range that offer a better resolution at the same price, the screen of the device offered a decent experience. Watching videos on the smartphone was a good experience as the images showcased were sharp and clear and the colours were accurate. The viewing angles were decent too but the sunlight readability could be better. The display also houses the selfie camera of the device and there is Nokia branding on the chin that outlines it. Nokia 5.4 review 3 In a nutshell, we can say that the look and feel of Nokia 5.4 is definitely among its strong points. The back panel catches fingerprints and smudges rather easily, so we recommend you to carry a microfibre cloth with yourself. Besides this, the display could have had a better resolution and sunlight readability could have been better. But other than this, the design and display of the handset were good.

Nokia 5.4 performance and cameras

Before speaking about the performance, we’ll take a minute to discuss the rest of the specifications of Nokia 5.4. The smartphone runs Android 10 out of the box and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor. The handset comes with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage and can hold microSD cards of up to 512GB. For imaging duties, there is a 48MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultra wide angle lens, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also a 16MP selfie camera and the smartphone packs a 4,000mAh battery. Nokia 5.4 has stock Android, which basically means that there are no customizations. The device only comes with the usual suite of apps from Google and a support app from HMD Global. The company has said that Nokia 5.4 will receive Android updates and security patches for up to two and three years respectively. Coming to the performance of the smartphone, it was only average. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 processor, and offered an inconsistent performance. To be more specific, the handset was decent at some tasks and could be better at others. When we opened and switched between multiple apps on Nokia 5.4, the result wasn’t the swiftest that we have seen. Even using biometric locks wasn’t a very smooth experience. Nokia 5.4 review 4 We tried playing a few games on the device too. While light games like Alto’s Odyssey ran smoothly, graphic-hungry ones like Asphalt 9: Legends caused the handset to heat up. The 4,000mAh battery of the smartphone lasted a day and a half with moderate usage involving browsing social media apps, listening to music and watching videos. When our usage was heavier and involved long phone calls and gaming other than the tasks we mentioned earlier, the battery still lasted us an entire day and night, which we think is really good. Nokia 5.4 takes about two hours to be charged completely with the charger that comes in the box. Now, let’s talk about the cameras of the smartphone. As we mentioned earlier, Nokia 5.4 comes with four sensors. However, that’s not the only notable feature of the handset’s cameras. HMD Global has touted the presence of the H-Log video feature on the phone. With the feature, you can shoot videos in a very uniform tone and hue, but you get an array of editing options in the Cinema Editor. Before you use the mode, make sure you enable the H-Log format in Settings. We quite like the videos that we took with this mode enabled as we got a number of colour profiles to choose from while editing. Nokia 5.4 image sample The primary camera of the smartphone did a decent job in well-lit conditions, particularly outdoors. But then, there were times when it struggled to get the colours right and it also took some time to focus. In lowly lit conditions, the quality of images fall and even using the Night Mode doesn’t help much with the noise. The quality of images deteriorates considerably while using the ultra-wide camera, even in well-lit conditions. The macro lens worked in a similar fashion. We managed to click some decent selfies with the 16MP front camera during the day, while the results at night were average.

Verdict

The pros of the smartphone include its sturdy built and design, the battery life and the clean UI. The H-Log video feature worked well too, and the fact that the smartphone will get regular and timely Android updates and security patches is certainly a plus. However, we cannot ignore the laggy performance and the average cameras of the handset. If you want to buy Nokia 5.4 for the H-Log video feature or its battery life, then you can go for it. Pros
  • Sturdy built
  • No bloatware
  • H-Log video feature
Cons
  • Performance was slow at times
  • Average cameras
