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.

Xiaomi to shut down Gallery Sync of Xiaomi Cloud, Instead allow users to migrate to Google Photos

Xiaomi appears to be planning to shut down its Gallery Sync feature of Xiaomi Cloud. Several global users are receiving a message that tells them to migrate to Google Photos to continue cloud backup of photos and videos on their Xiaomi smartphone.

The developer Kacper Skrzypek has discovered a note by Xiaomi that tells users about the discontinuation of the Gallery Sync feature of Xiaomi Cloud. It says ‘the Gallery Sync feature will no longer be supported by Xiaomi Cloud.’

Furthermore, it tells users to switch to Google Photos as Xiaomi appears to be partnering with Google for photos and video backup. Note that this is only for the Gallery Sync feature which allows users free 5GB of space. In this 5GB, users can store photos and videos for free.

Now, however, if you want to back up your photos or videos to the cloud, you are restricted to Google Photos. If you are someone who never backed up their images or videos to Xiaomi Cloud, you don’t need to worry.

Although there’s no clear mention, the removal of the feature appears to be only for global Xiaomi users. This could mean that in China, the sync service for Gallery might still work.

Those who have paid for the Xiaomi Cloud membership and are using this feature will get a refund. However, the exact refund time or the removal date of the Gallery Sync isn’t revealed. But it will shut down this year itself.

Apart from allowing the backup to Google Photos, Xiaomi Cloud users using the Gallery Sync feature can also locally back up their media. Xiaomi will allow such users to download their photos and videos for some time and then it will permanently delete all the media in the Xiaomi Cloud.

Other than the photos and videos, messages, contacts, and other things can still be backup to Xiaomi Cloud.
