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.

~~Ive never noticed this or heard that printers do that.~~
