Unless the chip design, the firmware, the OS, the software is 100% open source, there is no way to confirm "Nothing will be transmitted to the cloud". It could be an update check, or it could be the transmission of a new voice fingerprint.

Same shit with cellphones, I have to admit.



It is certainly possible to wireshark it and know whether it is transmitting anything. You don't need anything to be open sourced.


Read this again, then you'll see what I ment:
