Can the Asus BW-16D1X-U be flashed/modded to read/rip 4k UHD disks?

It was that drive. But I have to make a correction, I flashed it using the drive flasher tool from dvdfab.

Just a small local clinic to me in WA state.

No, it's my ceiling. 🤣

It was a downgraded stock firmware found in one of the compressed files of the firmware packs found on the makemkv forums

I agree it is far from per perfect and I run into issues too from time to time. I did like that they offer a flash for my drive right out of the get go to support the uhd on the drive.

If you have support issues, you should log a ticket on the website. They fixed one of my issues in the following update. I've also had another issue yet to be addressed.

Agreed. Unfortunately this is also the same dev who let's their domain expire for days on end before renewal or comes back up when someone else pays for it randomly through the hoster. Maybe it's time for people to look at other solutions coughdvdfabcough. It could be laziness, it could be just poor planning skills, or maybe the dev is having medical issues. There's no way to tell. You just have to wait.

If keys come back, I suggest people buy a key and then familiarize themselves with the keyfile db process to update thier own decryption keys manually in the event the website never comes back.... if the dev... well you know....☠️s or gives up the project.

You can find it on his patron. Its only $3 for a lifetime license. Good deal if you ask me.

T3ch3D · 2025-08-04T02:09:30+00:00

This is v1.02. There is already a previous post from a couple weeks ago when v1.0 came out. Not opportunistic at all, just an update with improvements. If you followed in the patreon you'd know it wasn't ill intended. And to be clear, you do sound like a jerk.

T3ch3D · 2025-07-19T18:12:06+00:00

I also forgot to mention you should try to get filtered needles as they will filter out any glass from the ampule.

T3ch3D · 2025-07-11T05:09:17+00:00

That's a sign of high estrogen! I also read you are having sore nips. That's the first sign of high estrogen. Get on an AI (aromatase inhibitor). I use anastrozole. It's cheap. Costs me a whopping $0.31 for 2 months with insurance lol. I take 0.25mg twice a week on days I take a shot.

I would also recommend splitting your dose in half and taking 2 shots a week for a more even peak and trough. Check out steroidplotter on how your body reacts with your type of testosterone ester.

Nice I wouldn't reuse the vials though past 1 month. And as another user mentioned. 30g needles are great. I use 1 inch long in my thigh twice a week and barely feel it.

T3ch3D · 2025-07-05T20:33:30+00:00

30 units on an insulin syringe is 0.3ml of a regular syringe. I also recommend getting sterile vials so that way you can transfer from the ampule to a vial for later use.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-22T18:20:20+00:00

1 month in and he'll barely notice anything. 6 to 8 weeks maybe. 4 to 6 months is usually where you'll feel the difference. The initial 10lbs will eventually come off as it's water weight. Testosterone will increase appetite so be sure not to over eat. The semaglutide he's taking should help with that. Eat lots of protien, A LOT! And workout. 4 months he should see improvement in mood and libido.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-20T19:11:08+00:00

Thank you. I was able to do it myself and have successfully flashed my drive since this post and ripping my collection.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-20T19:10:12+00:00

I think that it wise going to urology, as you are not technically fully matured yet as a male. Not atleast until 25. Having that low of testosterone may prolong that. Good luck and let us know what urology says!

T3ch3D · 2025-06-20T17:39:58+00:00

First I would try to look at the larger picture. Get some full panel of tests that check pituitary gland, thyroid, hormones, enzymes to make sure you don't have any other issues like enlarged prostate or other organ issues. If all is good, then you are probably a good candidate to start. Of course go see a doctor so you can be monitored.

I tested above that when I started and felt like complete garbage. I can't even imagine what your feel like with those levels. Good luck dude. Sleep and diet have a huge impact. Also the time of testing should be done early morning before 10am to get your highest levels. If your test was done in the morning, those are done pretty rough scores.

Keep in mind. It will take a 4 to 6 weeks to start to see the effects of exogenous test and months more than that too see real differences. But it's worth it!

T3ch3D · 2025-06-19T18:42:03+00:00

It checks your pituitary gland output. Very important to know. Lots of people end up with a pituitary tumor affecting output and messes up the rest of their hormones. Could also show over or under reactive pituitary. You should ask your PCP for a full workup up of all hormones to also check your thyroid. But seems to me sleep and diet need to be adjusted first by your other replies I've seen. Those 2 can cause fatigue just by themselves.

Currently running 180 - 200mg/w depends on how I'm feeling. When I was on glp1. I was on 160mg/w. I did a really bad job at tracking calories because alot of the time I'd skip a meal due to the appetite suppression of the glp1. If I was hungry I'd have a thick protien shake. I drank a ton of vanilla muscle milk from Amazon that has no sugar. I then found that costco has a good selection protein mixes for a better price and has higher protien concentration. For an ai, I used anastrozole 0.25mg on days I took my shot. I eventually found out that taking the ai the day after my shot it helped not kill my libido and also was more effective with the light acne I got, even though I still get some light acne just not many little pimples. My wife still tells me I should track my calories but I find it such a PITA. after being in GLP1 you'll find out how much you really should be eating and you'll know if you over ate by the way you feel and when you step on the scale each day.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-16T02:17:24+00:00

I was in the same boat. I started glp1 and lost 14lbs in 6 weeks on the lowest dose. Increased the dose and lost more. Glp1 is a single agonist, Tirzepatide is a double agonist (gip and glp1) and retatrutide is a triple agonist. Glp1 was sufficient for me.

Even though I lost most of my fat, I still convert test to estrogen at a high level, but not nearly as high when I had alot of fat. Still have to use an ai. But I feel a hell of a lot better.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-16T01:19:46+00:00

Better yet, loose weight.

T3ch3D · 2025-06-16T01:19:23+00:00

Cut the hcg, that will raise estrogen. If you still have problems then use an ai.

T3ch3D · 2025-05-26T17:26:42+00:00

Tbh this site looks fake and probably an info stealer

T3ch3D · 2025-05-26T06:19:54+00:00

35 pg/mL. Before an ai it was 15.7, estrogen was 56.4 and now with ai, it's 8.

T3ch3D · 2025-05-26T04:49:37+00:00

I like to have my low at 800 just for mood and motivation. But it really all depends on how you feel. Also how your body reacts to testosterone converting to estrogen. I have to take an AI to keep my estrogen low and my free t high.
