I went to the website to check the specs on an online purchase from last November, and I had to scroll past every in-store purchase over the last two months.
They don't need to see my receipt.
You should see how many pages are in the average legal file dump for a walmart case. Before the attys screen them and cross screen...
e-disc companies process (one specific. I will not name. still have friends who are there) in the neighborhood of 1M pages for each case, with often an additional several hundred thousand thrown in for good measure after in additional findings.
the scrubs of collected hard disks (forensic clone allowing wally to keep his original, in most cases) then its dumped out to files, everything OS and program related (known hash verified program files, like adobe reader, ms excel... general office garbage), then all documents are OCRd & turned into a PDF, to be seen in an online viewer. (incompat stuff like xcel is shown native)
mostly, it will be an attys asst, sorting through the massive pile of shit. using the ocr and flagging shit for an atty to view or not.
No idea why i went into that old rabbit hole for this...
OH yeah!! Databases - - you should see the massive databases that have been collected. its in the petabytes...
I am so glad I got out of that industry.
I know a bunch of info is getting stored, but I just choose not to think about it.
And to have it manifested right before my eyes is causing some deep thinking...
