Micron announced a $200 billion investment plan in the US by Hamid Ganji Memory chipmaker Micron Technology has announced a $200 billion investment plan in the US to bolster its chip manufacturing operations. The investment focuses on Idaho, New York, and Virginia as production and R&D hubs. According to Micron's statement, the company's new investment plan in the US includes $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in R&D operations, which can finally create around 90,000 direct and indirect jobs for Americans. "These investments are designed to allow Micron to meet expected market demand, maintain share and support Micron's goal of producing 40% of its DRAM in the U.S.," Micron said. In addition to prior investments, Micron also said it plans to spend $30 billion on building a second leading-edge memory fab in Boise, Idaho, and modernizing its existing manufacturing facility in Manassas, Virginia. The memory chipmaker firm also has an ongoing plan to build a mega fab in New York. Micron's investment brings advanced packaging capabilities to the US, enabling long-term growth in High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a key component in AI data centers. "This approximately $200 billion investment will reinforce America's technological leadership, create tens of thousands of American jobs across the semiconductor ecosystem, and secure a domestic supply of semiconductors—critical to economic and national security," Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said. The timeframe of Micron's investment in the US has yet to be determined. Still, it could be accomplished over the next four years as the company hailed Trump's administration for facilitating the investment. Meanwhile, Micron is not the only chip maker to unveil plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US under the Trump administration. In April, NVIDIA also announced a whopping $500 billion investment in the US to produce AI servers and other related gear. Other tech giants like TSMC, Apple, OpenAI, and SoftBank have also announced massive investment plans under the Trump administration. -

New Outlook for Windows is getting another offline feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft recently announced that it would block more attachment file types for New Outlook for Windows and Outlook for the Web. The company said that it is doing so in order to improve the security of its mail app. Another change Microsoft announced this week regarding attachments is better offline support for such files on its New Outlook for Windows app. The company announced it on the Microsoft 365 (M365) roadmap website under a new message ID 496371. In the description of the message headlined "Outlook: add attachments while offline in the new Outlook for Windows", the tech giant writes: "We are adding more functionality to offline mode in the new Outlook for Windows. You will now be able to add attachments while drafting your email without an internet connection." Not much else has been stated, though the entry does reveal that Microsoft expects to start rolling it out next month, July 2025. You can find the M365 roadmap message here. This is the second time offline support for attachment files is receiving an upgrade. In December 2024, Microsoft added the ability to "open attachment files" without an internet connection. The tech giant has been trying to improve offline operation on its New Outlook app for a while. Last month, Microsoft also added offline Calendar support so that internet connectivity is not necessary. The idea is to try to get more users to switch from the Classic app to the New one. Speaking of classic Outlook, Microsoft recently confirmed that a major Calendar feature upgrade has led to several bugs on the classic app, as it breaks in many ways. If you are someone experiencing problems with it, check out this dedicated article, as Microsoft has provided workarounds for several issues. -
