Anyone have Experience with this Drive? ASUS SBW-06D2X-U

Not necessarily needing to flash this to support ripping 4Ks. I just want a portable player for writing BD-Rs and ripping regular Blu-rays for large shows like Star Trek without putting too much wear on my 4K friendly drives.

Any way to clean up these scratches?

My shift lever is pretty scratched up. Glossy plastic is the worst idea Honda ever had imo.

Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 Random/Frequent Internet Drops

My Problem:

On March 26, 2026 I upgraded my two old Linksys MX4200 Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes to two new Linksys MX6200 Wi-Fi 6E mesh nodes. I had no connection issues up until ~5/28/2026. 

Since then, my PC (running latest driver 24.40.0.4) now seems to randomly drop all network activity/suffer from huge 1500ms+ lag spikes. My system can go an hour with no issue and then suddenly its losing internet every few minutes. 

The card never actually disconnects from the network, but I get booted off anything using the internet. The internet connection drop only seems to last about 2 seconds, but its long enough to cause issues.  

Diagnostics performed by me:

I have confirmed that the issue is not my new Linksys MX6200 units. How? I have a home media server (M4 Mac mini) that I am remoted into on my phone while my PC is playing a game. If my issue were network wide, anytime my PC was disconnected, my other devices should be impacted as well. So, I remoted into my M4 Mac mini with my phone (again the remote desktop client is internet based and won't work without internet) with a Blur Busters motion test running (so I can see the instant any frames are lost) while playing a game. When my PC inevitably got disconnected from the game, no frames were dropped from the remote desktop client. This effectively localizes the issue to just my PC. 

Does anyone have any insight or a solution that does not involve installing a 4 year old driver? Maybe its a Windows update that caused this? I'm running Windows 11 25HS Build 26200.8457.

Smart Wifi Down?

Went to login and this is what I see instead of the web UI. Smartphone app still works. Anyone else seeing this? I have two MX6200 nodes. Bridge mode is not in use. Trying to login to my router locally just results in a solid blue webpage. Internet is working normally. Just can't do any admin stuff without the app.

Unable to Start Game after Parallels Update

Hi all, not really sure if this is more of a Parallels issue or a Wows issue, but recently been having this error on my Mac when trying to run the game. This happens even if I run the game as admin and I have tried to re-install the game and launch fresh. Other info I've found is suggesting it's a graphics driver issue. I can't really fix this if that's the case, say restoring the app to before the last update.

The game has ran in the past, granted not flawlessly, but it has run before.

Are we Team Splashguard?

I was in for service before the Memorial Day weekend roadtrip and picked up a set of splash guards. I think this color combo is immaculate. They were more expensive than I would like to admit, but man I think they look cool!
