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.

Twitter to introduce a new DM icon on tweets to start a conversation from timeline itself

After introducing a downvote option on tweets, Twitter will now let users send a DM or direct messages to the user directly from the tweet. This will allow them to start a conversation with the author of the tweet without visiting their profile. According to Twitter, this will help users to “start a conversation” directly from the timeline.

Twitter is currently testing this feature by introducing a DM icon on the tweet for some iOS users as of now. However, even before the feature is officially rolled out, it is being criticised heavily online. Many have pointed out that since users will no longer have to take an extra step to visit the profile of the author to slide into DM, it will make the authors of the tweet more susceptible to online harassment. A US public defender Eliza Orlins pointed out the same in a tweet.

In a statement to The Verge, Twitter spokesperson Charlotte Catania said that during the testing phase, the DM settings of the user will remain unchanged. As per her email statement, “This particular experiment is not changing the current settings of anyone’s DMs. We’re always exploring ways to make DMs more accessible and valuable for people on Twitter, and they will always remain in control: anyone has the ability to close their DMs in their settings.”

In short, users who have closed their DMs will not see any change with this feature. Twitter iOS users still have the option to close their DMs from settings if they want, even if they are a part of the testing phase.

Additionally, Twitter is working on a new feature called ‘Articles’ that would enable users to share their views and opinions in a slightly longer format as compared to the existing 280-character limit.
