I bought my ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT during the pandemic around 2020. The model itself is from 2019, so this thing has been around for quite a while now.

Instead of replacing it, I've just kept upgrading and repairing it.

Upgrades:

- 32GB SODIMM RAM

- 128GB NVMe SSD

- Still running the original CPU/GPU platform

But after almost 6 years, I'm definitely starting to see the age of the machine.

Current problems:

- Battery has significantly degraded

- Built-in screen no longer works

- Built-in keyboard no longer works

At this point, I basically treat it like a small desktop when I'm at home. 😂

The funny thing is that the motherboard, CPU, GPU and general system are still working, so I don't really feel like throwing the whole laptop away yet.

The 32GB RAM upgrade also helped keep it useful for work and multitasking despite the age of the platform.

I'm curious about other FX505DT/TUF owners:

How long has your FX505DT survived?

What has failed on yours first?

Battery? Keyboard? Display? Cooling system? Motherboard?

And if you've kept yours alive for 5+ years, what upgrades or repairs did you do to extend its lifespan?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who are still using their FX505DT in 2026.

It's been two weeks since my beloved dog passed away, and I'm still struggling. Some days I feel okay, but then something reminds me of him and it all comes back.

I have another dog who's only 2 years old, and he's changed a lot since losing his companion. He used to be playful and full of energy, but now he's quieter, less active, and often seems sad. Seeing him grieve makes it even harder.

For those who've been through this, how did you cope? Did anything help you heal? And if you had another dog, how long did it take before they started acting like themselves again?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you.

I just came back from the vet and heard the results. My heart feels heavy right now.

My dog was diagnosed with Ehrlichia and Anaplasma. He’s usually active, playful, and full of energy, but lately he hasn’t been himself. He’s been having trouble eating, and seeing him tired and not acting like his old self really hurts.

The vet prescribed antibiotics and a liver supplement, and we’re starting treatment. I know we’re doing everything we can, but I’m still worried.

For those who have gone through this with your fur babies, how was your experience? How long did it take before you noticed improvements? Any advice on food, care, recovery, or things I should watch out for?

I’d really appreciate hearing your stories. I just want my boy to feel better and get back to his happy, active self again. ❤️

Maghihingi po ng tulong. After thorough research go na ako for KYB elite shock. Problem is nasa Mindanao po ako. Wala po akong kilalang authorize seller/distributor ng KYB dito samen.

Option ko lng ay shoppee o Lazada.

Pabulong po ng mga legit seller. Maraming salamat at ride safe 🫡

Hi guys, especially pet owners,

Can you recommend a good sofa cover that actually works for dogs?

I have 2 dogs and I’m planning to protect our sofas (1 three-seater + 2 two-seaters).

Main issues are:

Fur sticking everywhere

Scratches from claws

Easy cleaning sana

Looking for something durable and worth it long-term, not just cheap but madaling masira.

What are you currently using and how is it holding up?
