Every April, hundreds of thousands of people descend on Coachella Valley for two weekends of music, $25 caesar salads, and dust-related health complications. The rest of us experience the festival through our phones, watching it unfold on our social media feeds from the comfort of our couches.

The biggest moments from Coachella 2024 range from superstar-making sets to technical difficulties and broken bones, and they all get credit on our list.

Chappell Roan ascends

If you were plugged into the pop music scene before April 12, you may have been aware of Chappell Roan's growing popularity. If you weren't, Roan's performances at Coachella made her hard to ignore. Posts of her performance on the first weekend and her life-size butterfly outfit on the second boosted her streaming numbers and bumped her latest single "Good Luck, Babe!" to no. 77 on the Billboard 100, her first-ever entry on the chart.

In her first weekend set, Lana del Rey sang her classics, brought out Billie Eilish to sing "Video Games" and "Ocean Eyes," and finished her set by riding off on the back of a motorcycle. Onstage, Eilish told the crowd that del Rey was "the reason for half of you bitches' existence, including mine," echoing sentiments she shared in a February interview with del Rey for Interview Magazine. Fans called the set one of del Rey's best and were upset by critics who found it underwhelming.

Songstress Renee Rapp brought Kesha on stage during her set for a rendition of her hit 2010 song "Tik Tok." They changed the opening line, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," to "Wake up in the morning like fuck P. Diddy" as an acknowledgment of the producer's alleged abuse.

Grimes is frustrated by first-weekend flubs

A clip of Grimes's feral, unfettered screeching on the Coachella stage racked up more than 4 million views on TikTok. Grimes often screams during performances, but the ones in her Coachella set were borne of frustration after a technical setback that plagued a large portion of her performance. Grimes took to X to explain herself and promised a better experience for concertgoers on weekend two.

For the first time in 10 years, No Doubt reunited to perform for Coachella crowds. To mark the occasion, Gwen Stefani welcomed Olivia Rodrigo to the stage to sing "Bathwater." Rodrigo wore an "I heart ND" tank, an ode to her love of the band and its frontwoman, whom she has credited as an inspiration in the past.

Doja Cat became the first female rapper to headline Coachella and opened her first set dressed head-to-toe in long blonde extensions. On the second weekend, a clip of her looking around expectantly for a dancer to hand her a microphone while performing "Fuck the Girls" racked up millions of views on X and TikTok.

Taylor Swift attended the first weekend of Coachella with her boyfriend Travis Kelce ahead of the release of her double album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, on April 19. She was seen watching collaborator Jack Antonoff's set with his band Bleachers, taking photos with Real Housewives' Teresa Giudice, being lifted in the air by Kelce, and generally having a great time.

On the last day of Coachella, during a set that was added to the schedule less than a week prior, rapper Kid Cudi optimistically leaped from the stage and was unable to continue his show after hitting the ground. It turns out he broke his foot in the fall. In a video posted to X, Cudi said, "I learned a valuable lesson, not more prancing around [or] jumping off stages."

We're hearing more and more about password reset attacks being used to target Apple iPhone users. 

As Mashable reported last month, hackers are attacking iPhones via a method that inundates them with password reset prompts. These hacking campaigns have also been called MFA (multi-factor authentication) bombing or fatigue attacks. 

These attacks aren't new. Reports about them online have been shared for a few years now. However, based on online discussions around them, there seems to be an uptick in cases now.

Basically, in this attack, an iPhone user is asked through dozens of notification pop-ups to reset their Apple ID password. As X user @parth220 shared in his retelling of being the target of this attack, this renders a user's iPhone inoperable — unless the user chooses the "Don't Allow" option for every reset password notification.

Tweet may have been deleted

The attack takes it up a notch in the next step. The hacker then spoofs an official Apple phone number and calls the target about the password issue, presenting themself as an Apple employee. According to KrebsonSecurity, individuals impacted by the attack report that the malicious actor possesses personal data gleaned from the web about the target, enabling them to construct a persuasive facade as a genuine Apple employee. The hacker then attempts to use that trust to gain access to the target's phone and its data remotely.

However, iPhone users don't have to fall for this. A few outlets, such as 9to5Mac, have now put out guides on how to avoid being a successful target of a MFA bombing attack.

And here's Mashable's guide to making sure you avoid being a victim of the password reset attack.

Avoid the iPhone password reset attackDon't trust outbound calls

This is an extremely important rule — and it is a tried-and-tested method to avoid getting hacked or scammed in a multitude of different attacks.

In this particular attack, the phone call from someone claiming to work at Apple is a key component to scamming their target. But take a moment to think about this. Why would Apple call you? When has Apple ever called you before on their own when you are going through real, legit technical difficulties? Never! Apple doesn't make outbound calls to users without an Apple customer calling them first and requesting a callback. 

As a rule of thumb, don't trust a call you receive claiming to be from a company, even if the number checks out because that can be spoofed. If you're worried about it being legit, hang up on the call you received, go to the company's website, and call their official number back. That way, because you initiated the call, you know you are actually connected to the real company's official number. Next, you can ask about your issue and check if they actually called you first. Very often you'll find out that they did not.

With so many scam calls, the best way to be safe is to just not answer a call from a number you're not familiar with. Let them leave a message if it's that important. Then, if they say they are from Apple in the voicemail, you can just directly call Apple's official phone number yourself to check on the supposed issue.

'Don't allow' the password reset option

The password reset prompts are, at the same time, annoying and convincing. These are the same official system notifications you receive for legitimate issues.

But don't be fooled. There's a bad actor trying to use these prompts to gain access to your device. Click "Don't Allow" each and every time.

Eventually, the attacker will give up.

Change your Apple ID phone number

As 9to5Mac points out, users can also change the phone number connected to their Apple ID, which will stop these notifications.

This should really be a last resort as this will mess up with your current iPhone settings. For example, you won't be able to use features such as iMessage or FaceTime until the number is set back.

Ideally, it won't come to this. Just don't give these attackers the time of day. If they see that they are wasting their time trying to gain access to your phone, and you aren't falling for the notifications nor answering their phone calls, they will very likely move on to a new target.

Happy Challengers week to all who celebrate!

Luca Guadagnino's (Bones and All, Call Me By Your Name) latest film has garnered heaps of critical praise, with Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko declaring in her review it is "one of 2024's best." So naturally, the much-anticipated film's final trailer highlights all that hype — as well as its three leading performances from Zendaya (Dune: Part Two), Josh O'Connor (La Chimera), and Mike Faist (West Side Story).

Zendaya stars as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy taken out of commission by a devastating injury. Now, she coaches her husband Art Donaldson (Faist) as he prepares for the US Open. The only problem? He's in the middle of a humiliating losing streak, and needs to regain his confidence. A trip to a lower-level Challengers tournament could be just what he needs — until his ex-best friend (and Tashi's ex-boyfriend) Patrick Zweig (O'Connor) steps foot on the court. Tensions swirl between the trio as the film moves back and forth through time, making for a no-hold-barred volley of tennis and intimacy.

As Puchko writes in her review, it will "leave you breathless."

Challengers hits theaters April 26. 

Something spooky is afoot in the latest trailer for The Watchers, another new summer movie from M. Night Shyamalan, who debuted his Trap trailer just last week.

The Watchers stars Dakota Fanning as Mina, a 28-year-old whose journey to a remote Irish forest goes disastrously awry. One moment, she's driving through gorgeous, untouched nature. The next, she's running for her life from an unseen threat. Her only shelter — a mysterious bunker in the middle of nowhere — turns out to be as good as a prison.

In this bunker, Mina and her fellow prisoners (played by Barbarian's Georgina Campbell, Outlander's Oliver Finnegan, and The Northman's Olwen Fouéré) serve as spectacle for an audience of mysterious creatures. No one knows who they are, what they look like, or what they want. But one thing is clear: They do not want any of their performers breaking out.

While M. Night (king of twists and beaches that make you old) serves as a producer on The Watchers, it's his daughter Ishana Night Shyamalan who helms, making her directorial debut from her adapted screenplay of the A.M. Shine novel of the same name. Meanwhile, her sister Saleka Shyamalan appears in Trap as a pop star called Lady Raven.

So, this summer brings family fun in a sure-to-be wild way.

The Watchers hits theaters June 14.

A recent software update aimed at resolving connectivity issues is now available for various Google Pixel models, including the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 7 series, as reported by 9to5Google. This update is significant for users facing difficulties with cell network connections.

Which Pixels are getting the update?

The need for this update became apparent following user reports on platforms like Reddit, suggesting that connectivity issues began escalating after a March 2024 update. Some Pixel owners experienced problems such as missed texts and calls being diverted directly to voicemail, affecting multiple users across various countries and carriers.

The patch is currently accessible for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7 series phones and the Google Pixel Fold — with Verizon customers in the U.S. being the first to receive it over the air. Despite its small size of less than 7MB, this is the second update released for these devices in April, designed to enhance LTE call/data performance and rectify network issues, according to Verizon's changelogs.

SEE ALSO: Google Pixel 9 is rumored to steal this iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 feature

Users not yet notified of the update have the option to download it using links provided by 9to5Google manually. However, manual updates require technical expertise and carry a risk of damaging the device if performed incorrectly, advising users to proceed with caution or wait for an automatic update notification.

The new iPad Air announcement is expected to come any day now.

Rumors have been flying around for months about new iPad models supposedly dropping in the near future, but 9to5Mac spotted pretty irrefutable evidence of at least one new model over the weekend.

Device accessory maker ESR posted some new iPad cases on its Amazon storefront — and some of them are labeled for 2024 iPad Air models in a 12.9-inch size.

SEE ALSO: Apple's FineWoven accessories might be on their way out

In other words, those would be for the rumored 12.9-inch iPad Air that's supposed to come out soon (in addition to the familiar 10.9-inch variant). As 9to5Mac pointed out, these are third-party products. That means Apple didn't make them, and they could theoretically be off the mark, but given that accessory makers are given product specs ahead of time, that's not likely to be the case.

The 12.9-inch Air (which is rumored to have a new mini-LED display) is one of four rumored iPads that will launch imminently. It's joined by another smaller iPad Air and two new iPad Pro models, which could finally bring OLED displays to the iPad family. We could finally hear about them from Apple itself within the next few weeks, days, or potentially even minutes. You never know.

Last week, Bluey had fans of all ages in tears over its super-sized episode "The Sign." But the moving ep, which was chock-full of Easter eggs, was not the finale of Season 3. Episode 50, titled "Surprise!", concludes this season with a bang. And as its title suggests, it brought a big surprise in its final moments.

Fans online are freaking out over the final sequence that reveals a grown-up Bluey, and more specifically the final shot that shows her...baby.

After a pretty standard (and winsome) episode of Bingo and Bluey playing with their dad Bandit, the ep cuts to many years later, when a fully grown Bluey pops in for a "surprise" visit. Her mum Chili says Bingo is in the backyard, and as they walk through the living room, the doorbell rings again. Bandit goes to answer it — but no one appears to be there. Except, a puppy is hiding just to the side of the door, holding a toy gun that shoots balls — just like the one Bluey fired at Bandit for much of the episode as they played a game she called "Surprise."

SEE ALSO: Why 'Bluey' is the ultimate kids' show for grownups

Fans were quick to assume, considering the similarity in setup and Bluey's arrival, that this unnamed puppy was her kid. But this left a big unanswered question.

Tweet may have been deleted Who did Bluey have a baby with?

This is the query dominating BlueyTok at the moment. Fans are in two camps on the subject, using visual cues from the pup's appearance to make their arguments.

The first camp is Team Mackenzie, pointing to a Border Collie pal from Bluey's school. Notably, the pup ready to ambush Bandit in "Surprise!" has one ear up and one folded, like Mackenzie. And the blocking of the pup's fur is similar. Plus, as Winton predicted in a past episode, highlighted by TikTok user AngieinSydney, "Oooooo Bluey's gonna marry McKenzie!"

Tweet may have been deleted

Take a look at Mackenzie in action.

The other popular pick for the pup's papa goes back to a Season 1 episode called "Camping." That's where Bluey met a sweet French-speaking Labrador named Jean-Luc (not John Luke as some fans misspell!).

SEE ALSO: How 'Bluey' taught me to let go and love dad rock

In this episode, Bluey and Jean-Luc meet up by a creek for several days, playing games together happily — despite not speaking a common language. Bluey is sad when. without warning (well, not one she understands), Jean-Luc and his family pack up and leave. But at the episode's end, they reunite years later, when they both return by happenstance to the same creak, and he calls to her in English, "Hello, Bluey."

Take a peak at "Camping" to get a sense of why some Bluey fans ship these pups.

Do Bluey and Jean-Luc get married?

That's what Team Jean-Luc is supposing from the look of Bluey's pup. On Tiktok, user Lori argues points out Bluey's baby doesn't have black and white coloring like Mackenzie. Instead, she and others on X / Twitter argue the pup's coloring is shades of bluish-purple that resemble Jean-Luc — who also has floppy ears.

Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted

Some have even made fan art imagining what Bluey and Jean-Luc's pups would look like.

Tweet may have been deleted

But others are saying the show's creators have purposely left it ambiguous so that neither camp will be disappointed.

Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted

Meanwhile, there are other theories, pitching alternative fathers and even adoption.

Tweet may have been deleted Tweet may have been deleted

Who's the father of Bluey's baby is in the eye of the beholder for now. No statement has been made from the show's creator, Joe Brumm. As to when the show might answer this question, that's even harder to determine.

The series' future is undetermined, not due to a lack of popularity. The show, which was originally commissioned by Australia's ABC and the UK's BBC and airs in America through Disney+, has not yet announced Season 4. But considering the worldwide popularity of the brand, an abrupt ending seems unlikely.

Talking to The Guardian, Brumm teased that the 28-minute episode "The Sign" might lead to a Bluey movie, saying, "I love the idea of doing something even longer, so we’ll see how this goes down. Maybe a movie, who knows? This is a good way to test the waters." Could the questions about Bluey's future be answered there?

Mashable has reached out to Disney+ for comment.

The newest iteration of the Fitbit Versa, released in the latter half of 2023, is "an excellent fitness-focused smartwatch with welcome design improvements over the last generation," according to our friends over at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis). We haven't had a chance to review the Versa 4, but we did love its predecessor, the Versa 3. It's certainly not perfect, with limited access to apps and no ECG or stress sensors, but it does sport a larger selection of built-in fitness features, notable design and usability upgrades, and a more responsive touch screen. It typically retails for $199.95, but you can save $50 at Amazon as of April 22 and snag it for $149.95 — that's just $10 shy of its lowest price ever and only its second major discount this year.

Earth Day 2024 (April 22) is particularly a big one because it falls in the middle of a major election cycle. There's one considerable free thing you can do: research the climate-related stances of candidates on your ballot and vote accordingly.

When it comes to voting with your dollars, switching to chewable toothpaste from a jar over disposable plastic tubes or to laundry detergent sheets over disposable plastic jugs are quick, easy, sustainable swaps that are often cheaper around Earth Day. Plus, Earth Month is also a great time to recycle an old device you've been trying to replace. During all of April, Best Buy is offering extra discounts on tech items that you recycle in-store. For instance, recycling any old laptop or tablet unlocks an extra $50 off any Microsoft Surface device, combinable with any current discounts.

On its surface, Episode 3's boat scene is defined by silence, but not lack of sound. The creak of the boat's wooden planks. The soft friction of fabric. The crinkling of a discarded paper bag. The gentle roar of a fire lit.

Just when we thought superhero fatigue had set in, here comes a full Deadpool & Wolverine trailer with Deadpool sticking a gun right to Wolverine's forehead, and the dude just grins in response.

Last year was frankly hell when it came to the barrage of meh-to-bad live-action superhero movies that included Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, The Marvels and The Flash. But 2024 is looking up. Yeah sure, Madame Web was weird and wonky, but it was different! This fall Joker: Folie à Deux is going full musical. But this summer, everyone's favorite merc with a mouth is back — and he's bringing his favorite X-Men member into the fray for another R-rated, action-packed, wildly inappropriate for kids romp?

You had us at reuniting Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds (who previously played the characters in the rightly forgotten X-Men: Origins - Wolverine). Seemingly set before Logan — or maybe in an alt time-line — Deadpool & Wolverine has two of the most anti-social supes in the Marvel catalogue teaming up to Madonna. Naturally.

As both heroes say in this NSFW trailer: "LET'S FUCKING GO!"

Deadpool and Wolverine premieres in theaters on July 26.

Getting a new cell phone can feel like a mixed experience. On the one hand, it's a fresh phone and likely comes with specs like a better screen and upgraded cameras. On the other hand, getting used to a new phone can be a bit of a drag. But thanks to today's deal at Amazon, getting a new phone comes with an extra perk that makes it all worth it.

Until April 28, upgrade to an unlocked Samsung Galaxy A35 5G A Series cell phone (128GB) for $399.99 and get a $40 Amazon gift card for free. Both the lilac and navy colorways are eligible for this deal.

If you're not interested in spending big bucks on the latest iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy A35 could be a great option at a more budget-friendly price. For starters, the Samsung A35 supports 5G networks for the speediest connections available. This deal extends to the 128GB model which means you'll have ample space for your favorite apps in addition to downloading every episode of your favorite show on Netflix. If 128GB doesn't cut it, there's room for 1TB of expandable storage.

Samsung mentions the AMOLED screen on the A35 is the brightest screen in the Galaxy A Series that'll help out when watching your favorite show or reading emails while outside on the sunny days.

If your last phone didn't hold up well in terms of durability, the Samsung Galaxy A35 aims to impress. With an IP67 rating, the phone is protected from water, dirt, and dust, so you'll be better equipped for any adventure.

If it's time to upgrade your phone to a model that supports 5G or that's large enough to handle the countless photos we take everyday, now's a great time to snag the new Samsung Galaxy A35 for $399.99 which comes with a free $40 Amazon gift card you'll be able to use on a future purchase.

Shortly after reducing the price of its cars in the U.S., Tesla has now dramatically reduced the price for the Full Self-Driving (FSD) package.

The price for FSD on all variants of Tesla vehicles is now $8,000, down from $12,000, in the U.S. In Canada, which is the only other market where FSD is available, the price is now CAD $11,000.

FSD is an optional set of features that gives Tesla cars several autonomous driving options, including partially autonomous navigating to destination, as well as stopping at stop signs and traffic lights. It was released as limited beta in Oct. 2020 and expanded to all interested Tesla owners in Nov. 2022. At launch, FSD cost $5,000, but the price was gradually increased until it peaked at $15,000 in Sept. 2022.

The price reduction for the permanent FSD activation follows a price cut for the FSD subscription option, which was recently slashed in half and is now $99 per month. The new FSD pricing actually makes a lot of sense, as it was hard to imagine someone dishing out $12,000 outright for something that can be had for a hundred bucks per month.

In addition to the price cut, Tesla also simplified the FSD options by reducing the "Enhanced Autopilot" package, which was a sort of middle ground between Tesla's "Basic Autopilot" set of features and FSD. Customers who have previously purchased Enhanced Autopilot can now upgrade to FSD for $2,000, Teslarati reported.

FSD is no longer in beta (it's now called FSD (Supervised)), but it still doesn't really fulfil the promise in its name, which is fully autonomous driving, instead requiring the driver to be attentive and ready to take over at all times. Elon Musk keeps promising massive improvements on that front; while the system is constantly tweaked, it still appears to be far from being completely capable of driving on its own.

The changes come after a challenging couple weeks for Tesla, in which the company reported weaker-than-expected vehicle deliveries, cut more than 10 percent of its workforce, and recalled all of its Cybertrucks.

There are also multiple customization options, from adding widgets to applying effects. If you're not familiar with how to change your wallpaper, we've laid it all out in our guide below.

This is the fun bit! As you can see there are plenty of options. You can browse the categories in the "Featured" section to choose a wallpaper that comes with the phone, or tap into Photos to pick an image you've taken.

Step 4: Customize!

You don't have to add customizations, but the option is there. You can tap boxes to add widgets, for instance, or alter the font that the time will display in. Tap Add once you've finished.

Step 5: Tap Set as Wallpaper Pair.

The simplest option to finish is to set the same Wallpaper for both your Home Screen and your Lock Screen, but you don't have to. If you want to have something different for each, you can instead tap Customize Home Screen. This will allow you to create a separate Wallpaper.
