sounds like if one were to engage in this, they would have a laundry list of things to update with FDLE
I got dumped into this in late 2016 & had to learn it all on the fly. I had no idea what a smart phone was. And I remember that right before I left prison a fellow inmate told me that phones talk to you when you drive and tell you where to turn. Haha! I thought the guy was crazy! … And the first time I saw someone type on that tiny little TV screen on the front of their phone!!! hahaha! Talk about a learning curve!
