Discussion Should I update the firmware on all kinds of devices (apart from computers)?

[Rodion15]

I know this may be a broad question, but here it goes.

My understanding is that you shouldn't update the firmware on PCs unless you really need to, as it may brick the PC.
But for other devices: smartphones, Bluetooth headphones, printers, routers, smart home devices, etc, etc...I guess the answer would be: YES, it's best to keep them up to date.

I'd like to get opinions on this.

Thank you very much

Other devices are no different.An incorrect firmware update can brick those as well, or introduce other issues.
