...maybe today I'm starting to see a crack in my "auto update is best" dogma... For me that crack came when an automatic update to Android removed Exchange server support from my tablet (around 2015). I no longer had a good workflow for keeping up with work communication, which ultimately, as a sometimes-remote dev at the time, cost me a lot of productivity and reputation at that job. Now, anything that involves my productivity or quality of life (e g. thermostat) is on a manual update process as much as possible.
