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 restricts users from taking screenshot of ‘view once’ images

WhatsApp had recently announced that it will soon block users from taking screenshots of the images shared in the “view-once” format. This feature is now rolling out for a few beta testers, reports WABetaInfo. Recipients will no longer be able to take a screenshot of “view-once” format images or videos.

The report also adds that this feature will also block screen recording if the image is shared in view once format. If someone tries to take a screenshot, they will just capture a blank screen instead. This is similar to what we have seen in OTT apps like Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video.

The report clarifies, no third-party app will be able to pass through this screenshot blocking feature of Instagram. This has been introduced to enhance user privacy as taking a screenshot of an image shared in view once format entirely defeats the aim of the feature. Notably, the recipient can still click a picture of the image from a secondary mobile phone.

The report further adds that if you try to take a screenshot, you will see a message that says “screenshot was blocked for added privacy”. No notification about the attempt to take screenshot will be sent to the sender of the image.

For the unversed, users cannot forward, export, or save, view once images and videos. The report suggests “this feature has been released to some beta testers that use an updated beta build from TestFlight, and it will be rolled to more users over the coming weeks.”

With this feature, WhatsApp had announced two more privacy features for the users. Users can now leave a group chat silently. Only group admins will be notified every time a participant leaves a group. The third functionality is hiding your online status. Users will be able to decide who can see their online status on WhatsApp.
