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.

WhatsApp reveals what will happen to your account if you don’t accept new privacy terms

On Friday, a PTI report revealed crucial information for all WhatsApp users in India. It stated that WhatsApp has “scraped” the new privacy policy accepting deadline of May 15, 2021. Well, now that the official WhatsApp statement is here, we can say that accepting of the new privacy policy has not been scrapped entirely. Eventually, you will need to accept the new terms of services or chose to lose most functionalities of the app.

The Facebook owned messaging platform suggests that it won’t delete accounts that don’t accept new privacy policy but will make it as useless as possible. Yes, that’s right. Let’s explain what that really means for users.

Nothing really changes for people who accept the new privacy policy but for users who don’t, a lot does. WhatsApp clarifies that it will continue to show the notification to accept new terms, just as it has been showing till now. However, after a period of several weeks, not specified how many, users will see a persistent reminder.

The company confirms that once users begin seeing a persistent reminder, the WhatsApp app will switch to a limited functionality mode. What does that mean now?

In the limited functionality mode, users will not be able to access their chat list. WhatsApp says that if they receive a chat, they will be able to open it through their notifications and also respond to them. In this mode, users will also be able to respond to incoming audio and video calls. Not sure if WhatsApp will allow these users to make calls to send messages.

The messaging platform further states that a few weeks later, these users will stop receiving all calls and messages. This clearly means that, anyone who fails to accept the new terms and services will eventually lose access most of the key functionalities. In other words, WhatsApp will become as useless as policy.

So, the only option WhatsApp users eventually have, is to accept the terms or switch to an alternative app such as say, Signal or Telegram.
