    QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
    QThread* thread = new QThread(&app);
    QObject::connect(thread, &QThread::started, [=]()
    {
        qInfo() << "Thread started";
        QTimer* timer1 = new QTimer(thread);
        timer1->setInterval(100);
        QObject::connect(timer1, &QTimer::timeout, [=]()
        {
            qInfo() << "Timer1 " << QThread::currentThreadId();
        });
        timer1->start();
    });
    thread->start();

    QTimer timer2(&app);
    QObject::connect(&timer2, &QTimer::timeout, [=]()
    {
        qInfo() << "Timer2 " << QThread::currentThreadId();
    });
    timer2.setInterval(100);
    timer2.start();

    return app.exec();
