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.

YouTube blocks iOS 14 picture-in-picture, except on premium accounts

One of the best features of iOS 14 is the picture-in-picture mode, which allows you to watch a video in a small window while doing other things on your smartphone. This can be useful for following a YouTube video on Safari while chatting with your friends, for example. However, the joy was short-lived. It looks like YouTube did something that prevents videos from playing in PiP mode – unless you pay for the premium subscription.

YouTube disables PiP functionality in iOS 14

If you want to take the test, open a YouTube video through Safari on your Apple iPhone and display it in full screen. When you touch the playback controls, you should see a picture-in-picture icon in the screen’s upper left corner. From there, the video will briefly go to its own window, but soon return to its normal place on the YouTube website. The same is true if you return to the home screen in the middle of a video: it blinks briefly in a new window and disappears.

Interestingly, this happens only on the website itself. MacRumors website noticed that you could use the picture-in-picture mode to watch videos embedded on another website. Now, if you have YouTube Premium, PiP mode works normally. During beta testing and even in the early days after the release of iOS 14, the feature worked as expected.

Picture-in-picture still works with YouTube videos on Safari if you’re using an iPad, regardless of whether your account is premium or free, which makes the situation even stranger. It is not clear whether this is a bug or if the platform intentionally removed the functionality. YouTube only allows you to play videos in the background if you are a YouTube Premium subscriber. Considering this, it seems plausible to think that the platform wants to restrict the picture-in-picture mode only to its paying users.
