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 will now let you save disappearing messages but conditions apply

Meta-owned WhatsApp on Friday introduced a ‘Keep in Chat’ feature that will allow users in a disappearing message thread to long-press a message and choose to save it. WhatsApp has called this “sender superpower,” and it will be the choice of the sender to allow others in the chat to keep certain messages for later. Disappearing messages or chats come with a deadline for how long the messages can stay visible for the recipient, but the ‘Keep in Chat’ will let you keep important messages before they disappear.

“Anyone in a disappearing message thread can long press on a message to keep it. The sender will be notified if it was saved and can decide if it stays or remains a disappearing message,” Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement.

While this extra layer of privacy protects messages from falling into the wrong hands, sometimes there’s that occasional voice note or key piece of information you want to keep. To make this work, the sender will be notified when someone keeps a message, and the sender will have the ability to veto the decision.

“If you’ve decided your message can’t be kept by others, your decision is final, no one else can keep it and the message will be deleted when the timer expires. This way you have the final say on how messages you send are protected,” said WhatsApp.

Messages you’ve saved on your WhatsApp will be noted with a bookmark icon and you can see these messages, organized by chat, in the Kept Messages folder. The new feature will roll out globally over the next few weeks, said the company.

WhatsApp, in the meantime, began rolling out the sticker-making tool on iOS. Much like its Web counterpart, the sticker maker for iPhone will let you create a sticker from any photo by trimming the sides. But the sticker-making tool is available on iPhone models running iOS 16. WhatsApp has not said whether or not it plans to roll this feature to models running a lower operating system. It is also unclear whether this feature will be available on Android.
