Therac-25 was involved in at least 6 accidents between 1985 and 1987. Because of race conditions, it sometimes gave its patients radiation doses that were hundreds of times greater than normal, resulting in death or serious injury.

It's time to upgrade my iPhone 12 mini. Are there interesting Androids nowadays? I don't care about gaming or AI, just want a decent camera and non-annoying OS. The last Android I had was Pixel 3a. It was very meh :/
