You absolutely do not want any fans. Fans circulate air, which will only draw in dust, moisture, bugs and other foreign materials that will exponentially increase the rate of failure on your hardware.
Remind yourself that most ARM manufacturers are tailored to one market: mobile devices. You will likely find the price of hardened components (the term you should be looking for) to be quite more expensive than off-the-shelf devices like a Raspberry Pi. The operating range for most of those common devices is well outside your requirements, not to mention the durability factor (dust, vibration, etc).
For such a simple project, a dedicated construction or outdoor security camera with integrated storage and networking will probably tick all of your boxes. You won't find much gain in reinventing the wheel here.
They killed this product when they released the iPhone 7 without a headphone jack. There's a reason why people buy high-end headphones... they want to be able to plug them into whatever device plays music and get the best experience possible.
They may win over a few Apple fans, but they won't succeed how they could have with these.
It seems like Microsoft is starting to contribute more to open source products. What's your take on them joining the community, given their rather different approach in historical times?

... Google Assistant is still much, much better than Alexa, if you ask me.

Interesting. I'm currently checking the WSJ archives to make sure this article didn't get written; if it did, I'll be cancelling my sub immediately.
