They're taking after Android SDK, which seems to update daily.

I agree, while I favor a frequent cycle of smaller updates, too much is too much. Once every other month is more than enough and I think will help improve code quality as you then will have more time to test decently before shipping.

Why do you feel the need to actually install every update? Until and unless there is an actual benefit that outweighs the delay in and risk to your development cycle, it is in fact a bad thing to do. Just because there are a couple of fixes in areas that you didn't use anyway is not a benefit.

It would be super awesome if there was a way to script out the action of "check for all updates to VS2017 and download and install any that are found, including for extensions." And then I could just set the script up to run over night each night or something.
M$ better get on that...

because it's small and gets the job done. Besides, I keep misplacing my phone, mainly by putting mail on top of it 
So, I need iTunes - 250+MB

So ... you keep losing track of your phone, so you are going to replace it with something even smaller and easier to lose? O...Kay.

lol, there is a method to my madness.
The nano is just another music device - no bluetooth but it has an old school min-iDIN connector I can use to hook up to a set of portable speakers.

And at least he can call his phone to get it to ring if he misplaces it....

I have an iPod Nano generation 2 out in my car, connect to my Alpine sound system which includes iPod controls. The 2GB device stores about 150-175 songs. It does amazingly well despite some of the temperature extremes it's subject to. Below 15°F or above 90°F it occasionally needs a hard reset to reconnect with the sound system.
I still miss my iPod Classic. Its 120GB was just big enough to store my entire music collection for listening at work. It died a while back, so now I'm using my Nexus 7 tablet. Unfortunately its 32GB onboard Flash isn't big enough for all of my music, so I occasionally have to swap things out.

Fortunately MicroSD cards have caught up nowadays and will be able to handle your 120GB worth of music.
I'm assuming the Nexus 7 has a MicroSD slot...or have they followed into Apple's footsteps?

Wow.
That's the dealbreaker that would make me leave the device on the shelf and move on to something else.
That, and the lack of a headphone jack. And non-replaceable battery.
I'm not sure what they'll think of next, but I'm sure they'll outdo themselves.
Meanwhile, I'm still rockin' my Lumia. Y'know, the dead platform, that still gets updates?

I've been pretty happy with my Nexus 7. It's the generation 2, which came out in 2013. While the battery isn't replaceable, that's not been an issue thus far. I get 2-3 work days of audio play out of it before I need to recharge. It includes a headphone jack, a must for using it in the work environment.

I have one of the first Ipod Touch models, before the IPhone was invented, it's still in use as an MP3 player.
Can't do anything else with it as most apps won't run anymore on a system that old, that's a pity

Maybe you meant this tongue-in-cheek, but the iPhone predates the iPod Touch by a whopping 3 months. Of course, you used the word invented rather than released so that may make a difference.

No, no tongue-in-cheek, my mind must be playing tricks with me, I remember that I already had an Ipod Touch when the IPhone was announced ! But after checking the facts on Wikipedia that must have been Fake News ...

I ![Heart | [heart]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) my iPod Nano 5G. 16G of musical goodness, and I love the gapless song transitions! I play my iPod through a Teac CD-P650[^] that I feed into my stereo. The Teac's Burr-Brown DACs are awesome!

I'll bet that thing pounds out the tunes. What speakers do you have attached?
One of these days I'll have nothing better to do than sit in the living room, crank up the tunes with a beverage and do nothing.

I feed the Teac through a Sony TAF-45[^] integrated amp (25W RMS) and Infinity RSe[^] speakers (with the Emit electrostatic tweeters), both of which I bought in 1981. They still sound amazing!
