The box that syncs Philips Hue lights with whatever’s on your TV is getting a big update today: it now supports two major HDR standards: HDR10+ and Dolby Vision.
At launch, the longly named Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box could analyze content playing at up to 4K at 60Hz, but it only supported regular HDR10. For people with newer TV sets or who are serious about home theater, that’d be a major miss, since the HDR10+ standard and Dolby Vision are now more common and offer better image quality. Until now, the box has just done nothing when those higher-quality signals were passed through.
After today’s update, the box should work with a lot more systems and content. The device analyzes pretty much any video content that’s being passed to...

In a matter of a few weeks since its release, Aarogya Setu has become the world’s largest contact tracing app. Adhering to privacy concerns, the Government of India has also made it open source. Now, whether that’s the proverbial nail in the head solution, is something to be seen. But, there’s yet another trivial yet […]
The post How to prevent Aarogya Setu from closing in the background? appeared first on Smartprix Bytes.
Despite being the star of the movie that kicked off an entire cinematic universe, one that has no less than seven films scheduled for release by the end of 2022, we still haven’t heard anything about a Man of Steel sequel. Indeed, in recent years, Henry Cavill’s Superman has found himself as the forgotten man of the franchise after leading the DCEU’s first outing and then playing second fiddle to the Dark Knight in his next appearance and, finally, having his role reduced to what basically amounted to an extended cameo in Justice League.
Still, there’s been plenty of speculation about Cavill’s future in the blue suit ever since we last saw him in Zack Snyder’s aforementioned film. The Witcher star has always said that his time as Superman isn’t over yet, but many reports have pointed to WB simply following the lead of Ben Affleck’s Batman and recasting. It seems that they’ve now had a change of heart, however, as Henry is indeed returning as the Man of Steel, which We Got This Covered told you was likely to happen weeks ago.
The Wrap is reporting tonight that the actor is now in talks to reprise the role. ComicBook.com, meanwhile, goes one further and says that Cavill will be appearing in “multiple” DC movies as the Big Blue Boy Scout. What movies those may be, we can’t yet say, but obviously, this is hugely exciting news.
No word yet on where we may see him next or how long he plans to stick around for, but from what it sounds like, Cavill is back on good terms with Warner Bros. and will likely be a fixture of their cinematic universe for the foreseeable future. And you can bet that they’ll be treating him a lot better this time around.
But tell us, are you happy to see Henry Cavill back as Superman? Or were you hoping they’d reboot? As always, let us know down below.
Though much of the entertainment industry is still in lockdown due to the Coronavirus and the quarantines imposed to help stop its spread, streaming services are thriving like never before. Netflix and Amazon Prime have both been seeing record viewing figures, while Disney Plus subscriptions are through the roof. Not to mention HBO Max just launched this week as well and is reportedly off to a strong start.
With all eyes fixed on the small screen these days, anything new and exciting is eagerly anticipated and after hearing all about what Netflix has coming next month, Amazon Prime has just announced their full line-up, and it’s packed with some pretty great movies and TV shows spanning multiple genres.

Sure, it might not be as meaty a roster as what Netflix has coming, but what’s on offer from Amazon Prime is certainly nothing to scoff at. The brilliant Knives Out will undoubtedly be a highlight for most, while horror fans will surely get a kick out of having the Child’s Play remake on the service, not to mention Crawl, a truly underrated thriller that’s well worth a watch.
Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe’s latest effort, Guns Akimbo is an absolutely wild ride, and if you’ve got children around the house, How To Train Your Dragon and the two Spy Kids movies will keep them more than entertained. Plus, there’s Where the Wild Things Are, which will provide enjoyable viewing for the entire family.
So, an impressive line-up of content, then. But tell us, what will you be checking out on Amazon Prime next month? Sound off down below and let us know.
HBO is no longer available as an Apple TV Channel for people who want to subscribe to it though the Apple TV app (via 9to5Mac). The change follows today’s launch of the new streaming service HBO Max.
Apple TV Channels first launched last year as a way to watch content from many different service providers all in one app, meaning you wouldn’t have to bounce around between different third-party apps to watch different content. Now, though, it seems HBO wants to push users to watch HBO Max content on the HBO Max app instead of through Apple’s.
If you already subscribe to HBO through Apple TV’s Channels, you can apparently still see it in the Apple TV app, but it won’t...

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has filed a lawsuit against Google over allegations the company illegally tracked Android users’ location without their consent and even when the location tracking features had been manually disabled, according to a report from The Washington Post.
The suit argues Google kept location tracking running in the background for certain features, like weather and for web searches using its search engine and Chrome browser, even after the user disabled app-specific location tracking. Only when a user dug further into the Android system settings and turned off broader system-level tracking did Google stop surreptitiously siphoning location data, the complaint argues.

HBO Max has arrived, bringing with it a precious few new original shows and an absolutely stuffed back catalog of terrific TV and movies. In addition to HBO’s extremely good library, Max adds a mountain of content produced and / or licensed by parent company WarnerMedia, like Friends and the Harry Potter franchise. It’s enough to please someone of every taste, but the more you dig, the more you find strange holes in the library — and the more you realize it’s not really clear what HBO Max is supposed to offer.
These problems are clearest in the big, non-HBO umbrellas you find titles gathered under on HBO Max. DC, for example, is the place you’d expect to find, well, the movies in the DC Extended Universe. They’re mostly there! Except B...
