You will likely see OOTB online (depending on how people use it).on tech forums, social sites when reviewing tech, or marketplace sites like eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
For example, a person may use OOTB on tech forums or social sites when commenting on the capabilities of tech. They may say, "I can't believe the image viewer supports all these camera raw formats ootb!" They might also use it when talking about other items' capabilities, such as tools or vehicles, and their abilities without adding modifications.
