Hi,

On a multi-core computer, why can one app using 100% of a single of those core make the whole computer freeze ?

Shouldn't the rest of the processes be fine with the other cores if their usage remains at 10-30% ?

Thanks

Hi,

No smartphone is BIFL, but there are ways to preserve them, and I just feel proud of people making that choice available, proud of myself for taking it, and proud of my phone for handling it well.

It's a 7 and a half year-old Xiaomi Mi 8, bought in 2018 on Android 8, unlocked, reinstalled and rooted since the very first day. Officially abandoned in 2021 with Android 10, currently running Android 15 just fine, while community work for Android 16 recently started as well.

The battery is in bad shape, but as I carry an external battery all the time, it's not too uncomfortable.

Whenever this one dies or grows too old to handle anything, my next phone will be a Fairphone. Though I have no idea which model, as I have no idea how longer this Xiaomi will last, so far there's no sign of fatigue, and if it handles a half dozen more years, I won't get bored and I'll keep celebrating it.

I hope posting this is okay enough, I tried finding a subreddit specializing in celebrating device birthdays but didn't find any, this place seemed to be the most appropriate.

Thank you for reading, and feel free to share your own phone's long life story in the comments !

Hi,

When receiving an email notification for a new comment on an issue thread, the "view it on GitHub" link looks like the following : https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/issues/{issue_id}?email_source=notifications&email_token={large_string}#issuecomment-{comment_id}

Sometimes, the link is going to return 404. Yet, the issue thread does exist, and removing the &email_token={large_string} will show it.

Thanks
