Hardware updates would be incredibly noticeable. You can tell because of the way (strange?) people are in the room rummaging around in the casing and swapping stuff in and out.

... or did you mean firmware updates?
Those tend to be software-based too, the key point being that you still have to download it (it doesn't happen through osmosis), and something has to be checking for them.

Generally firmware updates get downloaded from the manufacturer's website manually, yes? Why would they be manifesting as an update notification?
