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 friends/followers seeking your unwanted attention could be Unmentioned 

Twitter can be annoying at times when trolls tag you in all their tweets or comments. If you want to stay away from them, the only option you have is report that tweet and eventually lock the person from following. That, however, isn’t a convenient option all the time and hence, Twitter is working on a new Unmention feature to help your case. 

The Unmention feature has been teased by Twitter product designer Dominic Camozzi in a recent post, showing how the feature is expected to work. To explain in layman’s English, Unmention works similar to how Facebook lets you untag yourself from someone else’s post. If someone mentions you in their tweet, you will have an option remove your tag from their post. 

Twitter Unmention could be a blessing  

Camozzi does not mention an exact release date for the feature as Twitter is currently taking feedback from users. However, if it makes it to production, Twitter app users can have this nifty feature protecting them from those seeking unwanted attention. 

The idea is simple. Every time someone tags you in their tweet, the Twitter app will let you “unmention” or untag yourself from that post. If the app detects multiple conversations doing the same, it will notify you of the same and offer the same “unmention” features to help yourself.  

Unmention can not only remove your name from that conversation but can also let you prevent that person from mentioning you in their post in the future. You can either prevent someone from tagging you for a limited time or for forever. This won’t let block that follower or person or mute them. 

The feature is similar to Facebook’s untag feature that has been around for years. This along with the “limiting replies” feature will help users to prevent trolls bombarding your conversation with useless stuff. That said, this feature is still in conceptualisation stage and it remains to be seen whether it arrives on the app, and eventually on the web version. 

The Unmention feature has been long in demand among long-time Twitter users and it is certainly a positive sign for a large number of members here. Since Twitter is keen on satisfying old demands, how about bringing the much anticipated “Edit” button, Twitter? It has been a long time now.
