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

    Isn’t it common knowledge? I’ve known about it for at least two decades…

    BTW - you can easily work around it. Get someone else to buy your printer for you, or trade with someone who has the same printer… Now, they will still be able to match it to the printer, if they find it at your home, but other that that, you are free…

    PS. Don’t use your printer to blackmail FBI or CIA. ;-)

      Pro tip: If you use a pen and paper to blackmail the FBI and CIA, they can’t trace it back to you using invisible yellow dots.

      There is no connection from a random printer you buy somewhere anonymous to you. They can “only” verify something was (not) printed with that printer.

        As I said - but there could be a connection. Did you use cash or a card? Some places you have a membership, or they ask if you want the receipt on your mail…

              So you just want to say things you believe and not tell others why you believe them and even dislike being asked?

        No you don’t get it, if you swap paper with your cousin before printing the feds won’t have a fucking clue.
