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...

Something we have discussed at great length on the product team is how to inspire a healthy, vibrant, safe and respectful community. The most viable answer likely to be more impactful than any interface interaction or rewards system is simply: having more remarkable humans like you. Thank you kindly for your composure and contribution.
Look at what's all going on out in The Real right now with women's issues. Letting the voice of woman-bullying have a platform on here for that crap just isn't a do-er.
I think it would also be cool if Massdrop offered more drops with options for The Ladies. They have feet and torsos and ears and, well, ALL the accoutrements.... but we don't see nearly as many drops for items that are in their sizes as we see for The Guys. I know plenty of Women who use knives and wear shoes and can put up their tent ALL BY THEMSELVES! Not so many I know who are participating in the Barefoot and Pregnant YesMaster culture......
I don't want to see Massdrop turn into Reddit with Merchandise. I love Massdrop and the majority of the decent folks hanging about here, I enjoy the forums for their just plain common decency.
Appealing to the women more might actually be intelligent marketing, Massdrop. I'm not being inaccurate when I say that women do some shopping. They shop for their families, they shop for themselves, they shop as a hobby..... And there are PLENTY of them, just all over the place!
Daisy...RESPECT! If I could give you 10 up-thumbs, I would.
