Sounds like nonsense to me.

Can’t they just use the MAC id? Anyone who is really concerned can monkey with the settings a touch regularly (resolution, color depth, gaming fps, dedicated memory). One easy way to deal with both is to create a VM and work from the VM.

Doesn’t each processor chip (the CPU hardware) have a unique serial number. Couldn’t that be embedded in various outgoing messages?

I’d say don’t use a computer or phone if you are really concerned about being snooped on. Maybe not mail either. Try to communicate with a wink of the eye.

Could not the serial number of any device in the computer do, including the motherboard?

Tracking my PC won’t do much good. It just sits in my home office, day after day. I don’t even carry my cell phone “religiously”...just when I think I might actually need it.

Begs the question of which GPU’s are compromised and how far back. I ask this as I have access to many older GPU’S as well as older rigs starting with the XT.

“Another option to counter DrawnApart, or techniques like it, could be to use a blocking script that prevents access to at-risk resources.”

I keep sharing it and no one listens. “ NoScript “ just works and blocks everything by default yet lets you selectively turn on only the bare minimum to make a page work.
