@David Porter, I haven't been seeing those, David, but most of the time I log in from an android tablet at least 5 years old with ad blocker running. I can try on my win11 laptop later.
EDIT
Checked the Win11 Laptop (also running ad blocker). Not seeing those on the laptop either, David.
@David Porter - Considering I use an adblocker and I do not see those links on my end, yeah - that's pretty egregious lol.
While I'm here - I'm waiting until Monday to call Tascam again, I missed their call while busy with work. But I have been thinking - I don't know if it can explain the strange behavior of the power button being suddenly inoperable, but perhaps the 2 SD cards I own have just gotten too old? It does seem like the main hang-up is taking place when I press the stop button while recording. I'm wondering if it's just having trouble writing to the card and throwing a conniption fit over it.
I'm going to buy a new SD card from the approved SD card list and see if that might, by some small miracle, solve my problem.
