There is a reason big organisations or one person businesses have "production" and "test" machines. It's not paranoia. And a "canary" machine is one (windows / android / linux / routers etc) where all updating is set to automatically check and automatically deploy.
I've had automatic notifications, if possible, and manual selection, on anything that allows it for over 25 years. Saved a lot of grief.
So by default I don't have WiFi on, on a Kobo or Kindle, as they don't ask if I want to upgrade. Amazingly Android phones, tablets and my one eink actually ask about system, security and application upgrades.
