On Saturday, Grimes did a DJ set at Coachella. She entered the stage sitting on a giant mechanical spider. “Everyone begged me not to spend most of my Coachella budget on a giant mechanical spider but they were so wrong,” she tweeted a day before the show. “I was not able to rehearse tiding on top of the mechanical spider for safety reasons so if I am unable to gracefully get off the spider plz forgive me,” she tweeted a few hours before the show.

Last week, Billie Eilish announced a new album called Hit Me Hard And Soft — it’ll be out on May 17, and she said she won’t be releasing any advance singles from it.
Eilish is bopping around Coachella this weekend. She joined Lana Del Rey for Friday night’s headlining set to do “Ocean Eyes” and “Video Games,” and on Saturday Eilish did a surprise DJ set on one of Coachella’s smaller stages called The Do LaB. She previewed a handful of new songs from her new album: “Lunch,” “L’Amour De Ma Vie,” and “Chihiro.” That last one is named after the main character in Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, and Eilish also teased it during a Zane Lowe interview on Friday.
Check out some clips from Eilish’s DJ set below. -
Vampire Weekend performed on Saturday afternoon during the first weekend of Coachella as a last-minute addition to the lineup. The band has been busy since the release of Only God Was Above Us just a week ago between their Austin eclipse album release show and appearances on SiriusXMU and The Daily Show.
Their Coachella set ended with the band’s “Cocaine Cowboys” jam, which they debuted at that Austin show, but this time they brought out a special guest for it. Paris Hilton joined them, dressed in a cowboy hat, and played cornhole on stage. Not long after that, an Abraham Lincoln impersonator came out to do the same.

On Friday afternoon, Faye Webster made her Coachella debut. She performed a couple tracks from her latest album Underdressed At The Symphony live for the first time — “Wanna Quit All The Time,” “He Loves Me Yeah!,” and “Lego Ring” (though no Lil Yachty appearance for that last one). Webster performed in front of a giant blue t-shirt and was surrounded by a bunch of blue garments — a nod to the Underdressed At The Symphony album cover — and she wore what could pass for pajamas.

Western Digital plans to release the first 4TB SD card next year. On Thursday, the storage firm announced plans to demo the product in person next week.
Western Digital will launch the SD card, which follows the SD Association's Secure Digital Ultra Capacity (SDUC) standard, under its SanDisk brand and market it toward "complex media and entertainment workflows," such as high-resolution video with high framerates, using cameras and laptops, the announcement said.
The spacious card will use the Ultra High Speed-1 (UHS-1) bus interface, supporting max theoretical transfer rates of up to 104 MB per second. It will support minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s, AnandTech reported. Minimum sequential write speeds are expected to reach 30 MB/s, the publication said.

There is the mental image that most people have of electronics recycling, and then there is the reality, which is shredding.
Less than 20 percent of e-waste even makes it to recycling. That which does is, if not acquired through IT asset disposition (ITAD) or spotted by a worker who sees some value, heads into the shredder for raw metals extraction. If you've ever toured an electronics recycling facility, you can see for yourself how much of your stuff eventually gets chewed into little bits, whether due to design, to unprofitable reuse markets, or sheer volume concerns.
Traditional hard drives have some valuable things inside them—case, cover, circuit boards, drive assemblies, actuators, and rare-earth magnets—but only if they avoid the gnashing teeth. That's where the DiskMantler comes in. Garner Products, a data elimination firm, has a machine that it claims can process 500 hard drives (the HDD kind) per day in a way that leaves a drive separated into those useful components. And the DiskMantler does this by shaking the thing to death (video).

Another day, another dead Google product. The Google One VPN service we complained about last week is headed to the chopping block. Google's support documents haven't been updated yet, but Android Authority reported on an email going out to Google One users informing them of the shutdown. 9to5Google also got confirmation of the shutdown from Google.
The Google One VPN launched in 2020 as a bonus feature for paying Google One subscribers. Google One is Google's cloud storage subscription plan that allows users to buy extra storage for Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos. In 2020, the plan was exclusive to the expensive 2TB tier for $10 a month, but later, it was brought down to all Google One tiers, including the entry-level $2-per-month option.
By our count, Google has three VPN products, though "products" might be too strong a word since they are all essentially the same thing—VPN market segments? There's the general Google One VPN for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac—this is the one that's dying. There's also the "Pixel VPN by Google One," which came with Pixel phones (the "Google One" branding here makes no sense since you didn't have to subscribe to Google One) and the Google Fi VPN that's exclusive to Google Fi Android and iOS customers.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s decision to bring its latest technology to America is a big step forward for US President Joe Biden’s quest for security in the vital tech supply chain—but still leaves Washington short of being able to completely produce the most complex chips in the US.
The world’s biggest chipmaker by sales must also pull off an intricate balancing act as it steps up its US presence, satisfying customers such as Nvidia without damaging its highly profitable business model, which has underpinned the development of the global semiconductor industry for more than 30 years.
TSMC’s planned $65 billion of investments in Arizona are part of a construction race in the US that involves other global chipmakers such as Samsung and Intel, which are also taking big subsidies from Washington.

Alexa hasn't worked out the way Amazon originally planned.
There was a time when it thought that Alexa would yield a robust ecosystem of apps, or Alexa Skills, that would make the voice assistant an integral part of users' lives. Amazon envisioned tens of thousands of software developers building valued abilities for Alexa that would grow the voice assistant's popularity—and help Amazon make some money.
But about seven years after launching a rewards program to encourage developers to build Skills, Alexa's most preferred abilities are the basic ones, like checking the weather. And on June 30, Amazon will stop giving out the monthly Amazon Web Services credits that have made it free for third-party developers to build and host Alexa Skills. The company also recently told devs that its Alexa Developer Rewards program was ending, virtually disincentivizing third-party devs to build for Alexa.
