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.

Facebook and Instagram were down for few hours last night, second time in a week

Facebook and its photo-sharing app Instagram were down globally last night. While the social media platforms have started working again now, but it is concerning to see them suffer outages so frequently.

Earlier this week, Facebook services including Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp were down for nearly six hours, which is the longest outage in the company’s history.

Facebook, Instagram down

As per the outage tracking website DownDetector, the latest outage lasted little more than two hours, from 11:50pm IST to 2:20am IST.

During the outage, users mainly faced issues accessing Instagram via the app. The application showed an error and didn’t refresh the feed. Several users also complained of not being able to send or receive direct messages on the platform.

Soon after Instagram suffered the outage, users flocked to the microblogging site Twitter to check the status and why the photo-sharing app was not working. Hashtags like #instagramdown #instadown also started to trend globally.

Minutes after the social platforms went down, Facebook acknowledged the outage and said, “We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.”

The irony is that the social media giant took to Twitter to issue the official statement on the outage.

The social media giant, however, didn’t reveal any specific reason behind the outage. After the issue was fixed, Instagram said, “things have been fixed, and everything should be back to normal now. thank you for bearing with us (and for all the memes this week” via an official tweet.
