Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

My OnePlus 3T from 2016 still works perfectly fine, I'd say a normal 3 also would. That's a more than 7 years old phone. Good Android phones don't randomly stop working, except the cheap ones that are already underpowered at launch.
Oh I didn’t realize Google was still letting you update those! I heard all those stories of being locked into ancient android versions.
Well OnePlus doesn't, it's running Android 9 while Android 14 releases in a week or two from now.
(The OEM makes the update for their device, not Google.)
However, unlike Apple, you can still use "ancient" (perfectly usable) versions of Android for many, many years if you accept the security risks. Apple just makes the device useless because apps on the App Store require a newer iOS version, while Android apps usually target something from 2015 (Android 5+) or 2017 (Android 7+) as their minimum suppoeted version.
The big question is if you should use the device. Theoretically it's unsafe, in practice the vulnerabilities aren't exploited in the wild if you don't go looking for them.
I use a Pixel 7 as my main device and I can tell you, functionally not much has changed since Android 9. The OP3(T) from 2016 would be fine for most people for at least another 2-3 years.
