anyone ever think about how sometimes you break into kernel debugger to examine something and then just leave it that way for days cause you forgot about it? and then you hit 'g' and just expect it to pick itself up and keep going like it didn't just lose four days' worth of time? like it's nothing?? or is that just me?

@knutaf I have never tried to hold an iPhone for days like this but the Windows kernel debugging experience is exceptional. Never tried holding an iPhone for days but I wouldn’t be shocked if we were a lot less graceful

@fay59 @knutaf iOS gets upset if you tie up the wrong userspace process much less the kernel. If you turn off watchdogs you’ll probably hit SSL errors pretty soon though

@saagar Yup. I once unloaded SpringBoard for too long and got a reboot. Same goes if your hold up backboardd for too long (I eventually learned to disable the watchdog before doing that stuff)

@_inside @saagar not too surprisingly, macOS will do the same with WindowServer etc. i think it gives you 2 minutes before panicking
