IMO a firmware update shouldn't happen automatically. Even my DVB-T2
receiver asks me before loading and installing a firmware update. The
vendor of my tower PC's modem recommends against installing updates, if
everything works as expected. Toshiba warns the user that updating the
SSDs firmware could cause data loss. I never lost data, but it could
happen.
