Do you keep the software on your computers (incl. smartphones and tablets) up to date?

Yes, except for my catboy android. Can't afford the saas fees, just ignore the nagging.

mostly??? i've been Actively holding off on upgrading my laptop to windows 11 but other than that

On my computers, they are updated when I remember to run the package manager's update command, so that might happen once a week to once a month. On my phone, I tend to quickly install updates when LineageOS sends me a notification that there is one available, since it just takes pressing the download button, then the install button, then waiting, then rebooting whenever i'm ready for it, and you still get to use the phone as long as you want before rebooting without any trouble. It however doesn't let me do that with major versions, and there has been a new one recently, so I'll be updating over ADB…… someday…………

No, that would waste my precious little gigabytes from my data plan. I wait until a big version jump to update.

I think on my smartphone the apps get updated automatically. Some, maybe most, of the apps on my PCs either update sutomatically or notify me when there's an update (in which case I genetally update). I just downloaded, installed and registered Movavi 2024 tonight. I've been using Movavi 2021. I bought 2024 a few days ago.
