Are UUIDs built into the hardware, or something your computer decides on based on the drive's serial number and shit?

According to Arch Wiki they get generated and stored in the partition when it is formatted. So kinda like labels but automated and with (virtually) no collision risk.

Uuids are part of the gpt (table) on the disk.

You're thinking of partuuid, regular uuids are part of the filesystem and made at mkfs time
