NDSP Quad Cortex

I said "Maybe if they were Nintendo, they'd have resources to get stuff released on time" and I was banned from the Discord. This was 2minutes after them saying that NDSP wouldn't ban someone from their device due to "forum behaviour" lolololololololololol
Yeah they seem to be going on a ban spree this morning

Same here - didn’t want to get stuck in the event prices plummet.
This is inevitable, but it has less to do with NDSP's behavior - which is in no way novel - and a whole lot to do with the atomic bomb Line 6 dropped a couple of weeks ago. :O

(It was a also a given that QCs would become dirt cheap because I'm sitting on two of them LOL.)
 
Looked like a full factory restore. All my presets, etc. were gone, and I didn't have time to connect and download a backup. I don't know whether this was a hardware repair, or an overwrite of some corrupt content, or what. I'll ask, of course, but I doubt I'll ever get a clear answer.

Anyway. Thanks again, NDSP, in case anyone is lurking around these parts. :beer
After restoring from backup and testing the revived QC for a couple of days, I wrote NDSP to ask what they fixed and what might have happened. They sent a thorough reply about an hour later indicating that my memory card was corrupted, and that they had replaced it. They recommended I follow a few best practices, most of which I'd already been doing... but one of them was to use the QC's soft power switch before removing power. I hadn't been aware that this was a requirement, and I'd almost always just killed power at the power strip (or battery, depending) "upstream" as a matter of convenience. It's a very minor drag that I won't be able to do that anymore, but I guess it makes sense that the QC - or even the memory card itself - might be doing some housekeeping when the lights go out (so to speak), and that that might not be a good thing...

"Sorry user, it is YOU who are the wronger one!"

If it was a better design, it would have some sort of reserve power to shut down gracefully (and maybe it does? idk I'm not an electrical engineer and those classes always made me feel bad about myself - but that should be like a sticker on the QC when you open it if that's the case
