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.

Apple to soon introduce an Android app for AirTags, reveals security update for now

Apple, after a plethora of rumours, finally released AirTag, which will help people track lost products. But currently, it isn’t compatible with Android and only allows the NFC-enabled ones to find it. This might change soon as an Android app for AirTag could be underway.

A month after its launch, the Cupertino tech major has also released a security firmware to enhance the security of the device so that there’s no unwanted tracking. This comes after issues were raised regarding the Apple tracking device and how it can be easily hacked by cybercriminals. Here’s all you need to know.

AirTag Android app, new update and more

Apple (via CNET) has revealed that it will soon introduce an Android app for AirTag that will help Android users detect the lost AirTag or other devices on the Find My Network, control the AirTag, and allow for more functionalities.

This will allow Android users to go ahead and buy the AirTag, which currently is of no use to them. The only thing they can do is find a lost AirTag (only when they have the NFC feature) and return it to the owner. This is also if the AirTag is in the Lost mode. In a way, Android users will only act as helpers who help iPhone users find the tracking device.

With the launch of an Android app, they will be able to do way more than this. While the app is expected to be introduced later this year, we don’t have details on how it will work and more questions still remain unanswered.

Further, AirTag has got its first software update to strengthen privacy. Apple is making changes to the AirTag sensors, which will change the alert time when the AirTag is lost and people are looking for it. It will now notify people with noises within 8 to 24 hours after being lost. This was earlier set to three days. This will refrain unwanted people from tracking the device.

The change will ensure that people are able to track their lost devices without compromising on the security, considering it was recently found that AirTag isn’t safe despite the number of security features.
