Match your smart lights with your mood with the Hue Sentiment iOS app

A new iOS app will let you change your Philips Hue smart lights to match your mood. There are options in the app you can pick when you're feeling positive, negative, or neutral. If you aren't sure what you're feeling, the app can help you with that. You can also enable and disable individual lights to include them with every mood change. The app supports VoiceOver, too.

The Hue Sentiment for Philips Hue was developed by WWDC20 Swift Student Challenge Winner Rihab Mehboob. It's a paid app that costs $2.79.

Apple discontinues iMac Pro, plus 2 iMac configurations

Hours after Apple discontinued the iMac Pro, the company has also discontinued two configurations of the 4K 21.5-inch iMac. The 512GB and 1TB SSD configurations are no longer available. Both options became unavailable for purchase last month, but it wasn't clear if this was a temporary problem.

But now, the company has removed both SSD options for the iMac's configuration page completely. With Apple rumoured to launch a redesigned iMac this year, it isn't that surprising that the company is phasing out older models.

Microsoft starts testing Dolby Vision HDR gaming on Xbox Series X and S

A few Microsoft Xbox Series X and S users have noticed that the company has started testing Dolby Vision HDR gaming through the latest Xbox Insider Alpha ring release (2104). It's only available for a few games right now, including Borderlands 3, Halo: Master Chief Collection, Wreckfest, and Gears 5. The testers claim Dolby's picture quality is more "refined" than the usual HDR10, which is likely because of the dynamic data that adjust HDR visuals frame-by-frame.

Microsoft plans to release it to the general public "soon," but it hasn't committed beyond saying it will come out sometime this year. For Dolby Vision to work, you'll need a compatible TV.
