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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Twitter’s ‘Tip Jar’ feature in the works, to let you tip for others’ tweets

Twitter is soon to add a new feature, which will allow people to pay money to other Twitter users for their tweets. This will take shape with the help of a ‘Tip Jar’ feature, which has been again hinted at by newly found evidence.

As per the app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, the feature is in the works and could soon be made available for all. Here’s what’s it about.

Twitter will let you tip others soon

A recent tweet by Wong suggests that Twitter will get hold of a new cash icon on users’ profile. Tapping on the button will provide you with options via which you can send money to people possibly for tweets they are sharing.

According to the screenshots shared, the tipping option includes payment methods such as Bandcamp, Cash App, Patreon, PayPal, and Venmo. This means that if the feature sees the light of the day, it will be first in the US.

For those who don’t know, a similar feature (again, called Tip jar) was rumoured to get included in the Twitter Spaces feature for people to pay money for the audio-based conversations. If this happens, it will allow people to get subscription-based audio chats, which is something Clubhouse introduced recently, the app that led Twitter into introducing Spaces in the first place.

Back then, the Tip Jar feature was spotted with a black icon instead of the blue one seen in the most recent leak.

Having said that, it remains to be seen whether or not the feature is for Twitter users outside of the Spaces section. If that’s the case, there are high chances that it could be more than that. Maybe, Twitter aims to explore the idea of a payments service, much like WhatsApp Payments for people to send and receive money.

Yet again, these are just rumours and we don’t have a concrete word on the upcoming Twitter feature. We will update you more on this once we get more details. Hence, stay tuned.
