Automatic updates and strong passwords. I know that automatic update can break a system but I’ve never had it break anything super critical in my home before that can’t be fixed with 10 minutes of effort. I can think of three things that have broken and required fixing in the last 5 years of auto updating software. I’d much rather have a broke piece of software than a security breach. To those that manually update, how fast after the patch notice are you patching? One day, two days, one week, monthly? What if you are sick or on vacation? I can guarantee mine updates within 24 hours every time.
