“East Coast” doesn’t provide enough information. If you look at a map of America and draw a straight line south from the western end of Massachusetts, it doesn’t really touch another state at all, just the ocean. What really needs to happen is that the Northeast needs to be in a different time zone, and then we stick to standard time. But as it is now, it really sucks being in DST in the winter in the northeast, which is why so many of us prefer permanent DST, when given the choice without the option of being in a different time zone.

Sorry about that.
Has it occurred to you that all the searching in the world can’t help you find a website that isn’t indexed?
Obscure errors especially may not exist for you to find, and depending on how small and obscure the music is you’re looking for, it may not exist or be properly indexed.
Search engines aren’t magic.
Maybe? How niche are we talking? Are you saying the websites you need to find exist but you can’t find them via a search engine?
I honestly thought people didn’t have issues finding things via a search engine anymore. TIL people still struggle with it.
There is significant overlap between those two things. Depending on how old you are, you may not remember a time when people didn’t know how to search for information on the Internet; it was a skill people needed to learn. These days it’s pretty difficult to mess up finding what you want to find on the Internet, as the tools have been refined so much that it’s nearly idiot proof.
It’s much the same way with using an LLM. We’re at the stage where using an LLM is a skill many people don’t have, and it leads to incorrect outputs. I have no doubt that the same refinement will happen for LLMs as happened with search engines.
I can say with some certainty that the amount of junk mail I get is not significantly lower than in the past, but that’s not addressed to me, usually, it’s almost always “current resident”.
I doubt DMVs are going to move away from accepting mail, but they probably already have an option for your situation, like printing out something from a utility that equates to a bill with your name and address on it.
For proof or residence, it’s usually bill for a utility with your name and address on it. That is to say, you can’t show up with a birthday card sent to your address because anyone can send a birthday card with your name on it to any address, but the cable company, electric company, etc isn’t going to send a bill to your address with your name on it unless you’re on the hook paying that bill.
Is it outdated? Maybe a little. I think paper bills are still pretty normal, even if they’re paid online, but increasingly less so.
