Wait a moment... These things actually exist? I honestly thought they were just a myth.

I hate the fact, that every day, I am getting closer to the crazy paranoid schyzo stereotype...
But I cannot deny that what is out there officially is worse, then what most sci-fi authors were able to think of in worst dystopias.

Work in infosec. Paranoia can be monetized.
@r000t
Thanks for advice, I might give it a try XD
@LukeAlmighty
Though, realistically, how long does an office supply store keep CCTV footage around for? S/N gets you, from the manufacturer, what store the lot went to, at best. Of course, if the printer is a network printer, all bets are off.
Do your counterfeiting and fraud from USB printers from the early 2000s
@r000t
Yeah, I am not worried about CCTV so much right now. I would be surprised, if most shops kept more then a week of that huge video files. (2 days realistically)
And so far, AI isn't being widely used... That sadly won't stay that way for long.
@LukeAlmighty Black pilled yet again
@LukeAlmighty
Yup. This is why printers are best bought with cash at goodwill. Ebay is a good second choice.
