      Here’s my rule of thumb:

      • if it connects to the internet, it should receive security updates
      • if it doesn’t need to connect to the internet, it shouldn’t, and it doesn’t need updates

      Mice are firmly in the second category. In fact, I think cars are in the second, and any features that need internet access should go through my phone.
