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.

Instagram now lets you identify yourself in a better way: Here’s how

Instagram has added a new feature with an aim to help people identify themselves better. The photo-sharing app now lets people add pronouns in their bios, which will be visible next to their name on the app.

With the new feature, Instagram joins the list of existing apps such as LinkedIn, various dating apps, and even Facebook, which owns Instagram.

Instagram allows for pronouns in bio

People can choose to add up to four options as their preferred pronouns. This includes options such as he/his/him, she/hers/her, them/their/they, and more.

The pronouns will be italicised and will appear in a faded grey colour. This is similar to the appearance of a person’s profession when they choose to keep their Instagram profile public.

The ability to add pronouns is a welcome change to promote gender diversity and help users identify themselves better if they are struggling with their identities.

As announced via a tweet, the feature is now available for users in a few countries (mostly the English-speaking ones) and is expected to reach more countries.

To add pronouns to your bio, you simply need to head to your profile section, select the Edit Profile option, tap on the Pronouns option, and start entering yours. It is suggested that a list will also pop up for you to make an easy choice.

A report by Mashable reveals that Instagram is 41 options for the same. It is also revealed that the app lets you hide your pronouns from people that aren’t following you. This reportedly is a default setting for users under 18 years. The idea is to ensure that people aren’t harassed on the photo-sharing platform.

In related news, Instagram recently introduced the ability to auto-caption videos posted as a Story for people with hearing impairment to decipher what’s being talked about.
