Printers leave a watermark on each page indicating the exact printer that it came from. Are there any other examples of these privacy violations that aren't common knowledge? (ttrpg.network)

One thing I'm concerned about is recording equipment leaving identifiable information without us knowing about it.

Cameras generally have barely noticeable, but uniquely identifiable, defects that will consistently affect pictures. So if you post a photo on your personal Social Media, and then you post a photo from the same camera on Hexbear, those two things could be connected. Just because it can happen doesn't mean it's practical, though.

I have no idea if this is what's been used with the Harry Potter thing.
