>I like your qualifier, "most likely".
Yeah, it gets harder when you need to be sure.
>How would one determine if it is not buffering and compressing data client-side for later transmission during "firmware" updates?
AFAIK you can root the device pretty easily, so you should be at least able to verify that the main OS of the device isn't doing this.
>Also, how do we know that your Echo and my Echo are running the same firmware, and will always run the same firmware version?
Boot them both from a read only SD card.

So why even bother? Why not simply throw it and anyone peddling it out of the window? That's making sure rather than derping about.
- ryanlol 10y agoDo you really have 0 microphones in your house? What about speakers, those are basically microphones too? If you have access to the main OS it's also relatively easy to verify that the secretly recorded audio data isn't being uploaded anywhere, unless these devices have some secret radio equipment in them.
