Are you living in Dallas and interested in web development? Maybe you want to learn how to code and make your own websites. Or perhaps you're a business owner who wants to build an online presence. Whatever your reason, getting into web development can be fun and fulfilling. This blog will help beginners in Dallas understand the basics of web development, including where to find learning materials, connect with local groups, and explore job options.
Getting Started with Web Development
1. Learn the Basics
Before you jump into the more complicated parts of web development, it's really important to understand the basics really well. That means getting familiar with three main things: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These are like the ABCs of web building. You can learn about them from lots of different places online, like websites that teach you step-by-step, or even interactive platforms where you can practice coding.
2. Choose Your Direction
Web development isn't just one thing – it's...
Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked.
Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch.
So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...
so ive tried to order a few iems and heaphones and other stuff and i notice i cant order im from israel
i used to order some time ago and i had not problem if any one got an idea to what happen i would appreciate it
You know the story.
3 rings to the Elven-kings.
7 to the Dwarf-lords.
9 to mortal men.
And 1 to the Dark Lord.
What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize.
You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked.

The cable on my HD6xxs started to malfunction and after contacting support I was explicitly promised a new unit free of charge but instead was issued a refund. When I asked for the original agreement to be honored I was told there is nothing they were willing to do and: "Feel free to place a new order for the headphones if you wish though." After a few more emails I was given a $20 credit and conceded to "[feeling] free to place a new order" but because of current exchange rates and duty I had to pay an additional $65 or so. They refuse to reimburse me. Very unlikely I will be ordering from here again.
Be careful claiming warranty, I was explicitly promised a new unit free of charge but instead was issued a refund. When I asked for the original agreement to be honored I was told there is nothing they were willing to do and:

Our good friends over at Elgato (also part of the Corsair family) are launching a new product line today, Elgato Neo. We thought these would be a great fit for the Drop community, considering the attention to both function and form.
We're very excited to be able to host this suite of creative-focused products on Drop.com. To celebrate the occasion, we're hosting a launch event of our own with daily coupon codes and a giveaway at the end!
Head on over to the event page if you haven't already to check it out.
All Elgato Neo products can be found on the event page linked above, or on their individual pages below—note that any Elgato Neo products purchased through Drop will get 10% back through Drop Rewards:
▪️ Elgato Stream Deck Neo
▪️ Elgato Game Capture Neo

Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?
Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?
So, after a couple of years being into the watch hobby and since in the meanwhile Drop has nothing to do with watches anymore, I wanted to present you how my budget collection ended up!
Beater: Casio f91w - neon green
Sports: Seiko Midsize Diver SKX013 ( 1997 original - moded with aftermarket bezel )
Business: Seagull 1963 Chronograph ( Red Star - reverse panda version )
Dress: Seiko SNK369K1 ( moded with 70's original handset & champagne dial )
oh & Merry Christmas to the world!! : )

Im not able to use my DKC discount when I apply the FREESHIPINTL code, because checkout page states my address is not valid for this code. But if I remove DKC discount everything is fine. Please fix this before the FREESHIPINTL expires!
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope all is going well out there. :)
Quick reminder that these preorder updates will include the majority of in-progress Studio products, as well as requested non-Studio products. I will try to share updates consistently on Monday or Tuesday of each week with the current status.
Please keep in mind that this process is highly manual and time consuming, so I won't be able to provide updates for literally everything off the bat. If you are interested in updates for a product that is not included here, please let me know and I will track it down and add it to the list. Likewise, there may be errors present, so again please just ask if something seems off and I will look into it.
And with that—the updates!

Drop SA Metaverse Keycap Set - Wrapping up production; delayed slightly from previous...
I’ve been going back and forth with Massdrop support regarding a lifetime warranty on a knife purchase I made several years ago. They explained that because they have no more inventory and no longer support the edc community that the warranty can’t be honored and a $20 credit would be issued to my account. I requested more compensation given that the knife was over $90; but they elected to close the ticket and not respond to future inquiries.
I've offered a multitude of options for resolution including covering the cost of repair at a local knife shop, a refund, or more in store credit but they opted to not comment and stop responding.
Maybe I expected too much, but I’m disgusted by their handling of the request and how little they care about their customers. A major reason I purchased the product originally was for the lifetime warranty and it's sickening to now have an expensive paper weight. I won’t be shopping there in the future and can’t suggest anyone else to either.
Ho Ho Ho, everyone!
