AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Firefox Private Relay add-on will help users generate E-mail aliases for online forms

Tech company Mozilla is reportedly working on a new feature for its popular Firefox browser. The new service is called Private Relay and allows the browser to protect users from advertisers and spam operators when filling online forms. The feature works by hiding a user’s email address from these entities.

The Firefox Private Relay service entered its testing phase last month and is currently in the closed beta stage. There is a public beta currently that is scheduled for later this year, as per a report by ZDNet. The Private Relay service will not be directly built into the browser itself. Instead, it will be available as an add-on. This will let users generate unique email addresses as email aliases.

The user can then enter this email address in various web forms. This can be used by people to generate contact requests, subscribe to letters, and register new accounts on various sites. “We will forward emails from the alias to your real inbox,” Mozilla says on the Firefox Private Relay website. Further, if the alias starts receiving emails that the user is not really interested in, they can be deleted or even disabled.

The Firefox Private Relay feature basically allows users to make and delete aliases on the go pretty easily. This makes your actual email inbox clear of unwanted attention in the form of newsletters and spam. Mozilla is not the first company to come up with something like this. US-based Apple also came up with a similar service in the form of the “sign-in with Apple” system that it announced back in 2019.
