Fearing for their safety on an Australian tour? No, if you read the article the response is all political and Australian politicians were calling for the band's deportation.

VLC can play analog tape?

Yeah, I totally get that, but how are there FOSS applications on iOS that aren't side loaded? At best you can get paid ports/skins of open source software through the app store, but Apple changes developers a small fortune to put apps in the store, which generally equates to no free apps that don't rely on ads or in-app purchases.

Please excuse my non-iOS using ignorance, but isn't FOSS antithetical to Apple's closed ecosystem and extreme limitations on side-loading?

If you just look a pure numbers, sure, you can make it sound good. When you go look at the types of accidents, it's pretty damning. Waymo and Cruise both have a history of hitting parked cars and emergency vehicles. Tesla Autopilot is notorious for accelerating at the back of parked emergency vehicles.

The issue is not the overall track record on safety but how AV accidents almost always involve doing something incredibly stupid that any competent, healthy person would not.

I'm not personally against self driving cars once they're actually as competent as a human in determining their surroundings, but we're not there yet.

I see you're not familiar with the trend of autonomous vehicles hitting pedestrians and parked cars. ~~They've been completely banned~~ They were suspended from San Francisco after many, many incidents. So far their track is inferior to humans (see Tesla Autopilot, Waymo, and Cruise), so you don't need to worry about perfect.

Yeah, we've got ammo vending machines in grocery stores, I'm just waiting for the disposable single-use SMGs in vending machines.

Keywords there are 'old Android'. I haven't had a phone do that classic android slowdown in years.

I've used an Intel V8 NUC with a discreet AMD GPU for years to do all sorts of self hosting. It makes a fantastic Plex server as it can transcode really fast.
