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.

Disney+ Hotstar membership at Rs 99? Don’t fall for this scam on Flipkart

Bundled offers for OTT platforms are becoming more popular than we expected. Membership for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+ Hotstar can often be seen bundled with the purchase of new gadgets or even with prepaid recharge plans. However, this doesn’t mean all OTT platforms you see on the web are legit. We recently spotted a fake Disney+ Hotstar membership being sold on Flipkart for a price of just Rs 99.

The fake listing on Flipkart was apparently selling a year’s membership of Disney+ Hotstar for just Rs 99. Check out the screenshot which looks very real and believable. However, it is not. A year-long membership for the streaming-service costs Rs 399 per year. The listing has since been taken down, thankfully. However, it is imperative that users do not fall for scams like this, which will eventually pop up again.

There are plenty of scamsters out there on eCommerce portals like Amazon and Flipkart trying to dupe you of your money. They come off as lucrative offering something expensive at an unrealistically low price. However, these offers, deals, and other “grab-it-before-its-gone” scams are definitely not real. Always look for the plans of an OTT membership straight from the official sources. A golden rule of thumb to follow while shopping for pretty much anything online is this – If it seems too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.
