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.

Twitter threaded tweets feature discontinued after negative user feedback

It was earlier this year when Twitter had introduced a threaded tweets feature to the platform where replies to a tweet would be threaded similar to how you see replies of other platforms like Reddit. The objective behind this was to make it easier for users to see who commented on a post and to whom they were replying.

Seemingly, the feature was not well received among the Twitterati and the company has decided to roll back the feature.

As per Twitter, many of its users posted that they found the threaded tweets feature cumbersome as it made it harder to find conversations and join them. Users also complained that it was not particularly contextual, as to who you are communicating with, and also felt they didn’t have much control over their responses.

Regarding the issue, Twitter released a statement that reads, “Your feedback shapes Twitter. We asked and you let us know this reply layout wasn’t it, as it was harder to read and join conversations. So we’ve turned off this format to work on other ways to improve conversations on Twitter.”

What this means for Twitter users is that if you now reply to posts you will no longer be able to see your replies in the threaded format.

The company also announced that it’s turning off its beta app called twttr which was designed to experiment on the threaded replies format. Existing twttr users will lose their access for now but the company says it’ll work on the feature to improve it.

At the moment it is not clear whether Twitter will be reworking the treated conversations feature on its platform or introduce an entirely new system for users to reply.
