Toyota was working on a feature for its cars that would report license plates from amber alerts to authorities. https://x.com/SteveMoser/status/1493990907661766664?s=20

An answer to your puzzle in another post that is locked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42498953 The "alternate" 5x5 word square that satisfies all the clues without using the words from the first grid is:

    S T R I P
    C H I N A
    R E G A L
    A T O N E
    P A R E R

Breakdown of the solution:

Across

STRIP (Remove the outer layer of, perhaps) — Counterpart to SCALD.

CHINA (Region on a globe) — Counterpart to POLAR.

REGAL (Like some movie theaters; e.g., Regal Cinemas) — Counterpart to ARTSY.

ATONE (Command to a lawbreaker) — Counterpart to CEASE.

PARER (Rhyme for Tom Lehrer /'lɛrər/) — Counterpart to ERROR.

Down

SCRAP (____yard; scrapyard is a common sci-fi setting) — Counterpart to SPACE.

THETA (It goes something like this: Ꮎ) — Counterpart to CORER.

RIGOR (Feature of liturgy, often; strictness/adherence to rubrics) — Counterpart to ALTAR.

INANE (It's vacuous, in a sense) — Counterpart to LASSO.

PALER (Fino is paler than Pedro Ximénez sherry) — Counterpart to DRYER.

This is a neat app. Though when looking at the files in finder it looks like while some files are stored as '.md' files the sample md files only contain HTML.

Tahoe takes a step back in other ways. Like how you can use tabs in Maps.app anymore.

On the flip side Khan was wrong about iRobot. The results were layoffs at iRobot and now Roombas are made by a Chinese ODM.

"Toyota vehicles could “Alert local authorities if a license plate or other vehicle identifier associated with a suspected vehicle is identified” AKA “Amber Alert Assistance” at first, but later?" https://x.com/SteveMoser/status/1675876541845188611

It is confusing but it is the system (iOS) text to speech used here. You have to tap the Google logo to get Google's text to speech. https://www.cultofmac.com/469485/google-gboard-improve-ios-d...
