    STOP UPDATING!

    How often do you update apps/programs?

    For the most part most of my phone apps don't update very often. A few of them do a big monthly update and then if there's bugs there's smaller ones throughout the month but nothing too much.

    Not that often; I'm always annoyed by the skype prompt to update. XD I don't really bother to update stuff that much, aside from the iOS version because I want to be on top of that. But unless the app updates by itself, normally I don't realise till way later because I don't bother to look it up.

    UGGGHHHHH. Every. Damn. Time. No, Skype, I don't want to update to your newest version. Stop asking me and stop updating for me because you think you're doing me a favor. And stop telling me afterwards that you did it for me and ending that message with a smiley face. I've had to reinstall an old version about half a dozen times.

    When it comes to mobile apps, I just let them update on their own. I don't care anymore.

    Their new versions were not nearly as good as the old ones. -_- Eventually I gave up, though, and now I just let it do whatever.

    I got so annoyed at Java's incessant and annoying updates that I totally uninstalled it. I'll reinstall it when I actually need it again. That, and Quicktime Player, which I almost never use. If it nags me again, I'm blowing that one up, also.

    As for mobile apps, yeah, I let those update on their own, although lately I haven't been playing too many games on it. I got so tired of Unison League's grindfests that I'm honestly thinking of just wiping that one off also.

    I don't play much of anything on the computer, but what I have on my iPad typically either autoupdates, or doesn't update often if at all.

    The one that updates the most is Vainglory, which does a big update every month or so to introduce a new character and a few smaller ones here and there for balancing out the new character, old characters, and items. Every once in a while an even smaller update to introduce a new character skin.

    I update stuff (that I care about) in my laptop at the end of every year, especially during the holiday season when one needs to sort out stuff anyway.

    However, I absolutely hate it when my smartphone needs updates, because regardless of whether I actually update it or ignore it, its battery will drop down from high 80% to low 20% on that day itself, meaning that I need to recharge it again, even after just charging it, which normally I only do every week or so.

    If a program doesn't auto-update, I do updates only occasionally. In other words, "whenever I feel like it". I am so sick of the fact that we have to update all our programs every couple of weeks. I am also so sick of everything being full of security holes, and wish we could go back to the days when a single software version was good for the lifetime of the computer it was installed on (1980s and early 1990s).
