InQuest Staffing Tech Trek

Tech is like the wild west, full of untamed potential and endless possibilities. Join us on our journey through this wild frontier where we’re just trying to keep pace with the stampede.

Blue Screen of Death

When your Windows PC decides to take a vacation, and it takes the airlines with it - not a good day! We’ve probably all faced it at some point in our lives that dreaded BSoD, but I highly doubt when it happened it grounded flights across the globe…

Data (Non)Privacy

If you’ve used USPS on-line Informed Delivery service you may have had your postal information shared with certain companies. USPS has said this occurred without their knowledge but they have taken immediate steps to correct the issue. Guess the USPS took ‘Informed Delivery’ a bit too literally by informing Meta, LinkedIn, and Snap about our addresses!

Ready Player…NPC?

NPC’s (non-playable characters) have long been a cherished, important, and often comical part of our gaming experience. AI aims to ‘up the game” so to speak with more realistic and even a co-op type experience where the NPC can assist you during the game (not just “run” sooooo slow guiding you to you next quest that you die of absolute boredom or repeat the same lines over and over while your trying to gather all you precious loot…I know we have to ‘hurry’ but I want my loot!) So will NPC soon mean ‘non-predictable character’, we can only hope.
