Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.

The only thing I have inventoried is what's in the attic. Everything is in large plastic totes by category. I keep a text file listing each tote and what's in each. You looking for something specific? Search for that word in the text file and then go open up tote F3.

The totes are color coded based on what category of item is in them & have their contents written on the lids using a chalkboard marker for anyone in the family who doesn't want to use the text file.

I'm honestly surprised it's taken them this long. They bought Waze in 2013. I feel like Waze has been doing this kind of ad for at least that long.

We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we're really just checking to make sure you don't have any child abuse or neglect on your record.

Other industries, I'm sure, are looking for different things based on what they're hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don't oversee that area.

The group used "sophisticated computer scripts" and software to scour piracy services... for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers.

So they used some variant of Sick Beard?

I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn't be bothered to use 7zip.

What part of the country are you in? You mention being in an at-will state, so I assume the US. Maybe the Lemmyverse can help you find a job?

I hate motion smoothing.

My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.

Does she use wired audio daily? Yes. Does her phone have a headphone jack? Well, no.

There's an exhibitor at my state fair who specializes in hard to find movies/episodes. He's got a DVD of it than I'm sure is on the level.

I'm the "kid who's good with technology" despite being almost 40. Most of the problems I deal with are people who don't know their passwords.

I should have listened when a younger coworker told me "never let them know that you can fix the printer."
