gollark: Robotics progress and increasingly good tracking stuff might actually make riots and stuff not work fairly soon.

gollark: This seems really implausible? The only operation I can see a GPU doing for photos is scaling, for which the algorithms are pretty standard. Text rendering is trickier, though. Fingerprinting based on quirks in that with browser canvases exists, but I doubt this works on a low-resolution paper and it'll not tell you the GPU directly.
