If it doesn’t have a microphone it can’t spy on you. If it doesn’t have a camera, it can’t take your picture. (Or look at your butt.) I have yet to see a microwave with a microphone attached.
Simply because a device is connected to a network does NOT mean it can spy on you. Amazon’s Echo can spy on you, the teakettle can’t.
Seriously, if this expert, standing there in the room with the blasted kettle can’t get it to listen to his voice commands, what hope is there for some joker at the CIA to do the same from 1000 miles away, using back doors into Echo or Siri?
