        Yes, third parties have published complete hardware teardowns of various Echo devices. For what it’s worth, I’ve also personally reviewed multiple Echo device schematics, and have nothing to gain from lying.

            Heh. I’ll continue to badmouth Amazon for all the internal and external bullshit they pull, but during the decade I worked there, they actually took privacy and security seriously for the in-house devices.
