Unless you're operating a military base or something, you'll be fine with anything that's not "smart." I don't trust most "smart" devices unless I can self-host them (e.g. block them from phoning home).

Probably wise, thankfully I don't have to many smart devices... Even my microwave/air fryer combo started shooting sparks out of another outlet on the breaker. Unplugged it and decided to use it as a cat treat holder for now. He can't open that... Cabinets though..
