I stumbled into the whole replica watch scene kind of by accident. A friend of mine was wearing what I thought was a legit Rolex Submariner, and when he told me it wasn’t, I didn’t believe him until he handed it over.
I accidentally turned on Varnish Mode in Instagram the other day and didn’t realize what it actually did until I noticed messages disappearing after I closed the chat. At first, I thought it was a glitch because I didn’t understand the whole idea of temporary messaging, but then I realized that it’s actually meant to improve privacy by clearing conversations automatically.
Hi! I'm currently actively researching actuators and would love to hear from those who have used them in real-world projects. I'm interested in which types of actuators (electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic) have proven to be the most reliable and user-friendly. I'm especially interested in learning how they perform under long-term loads and in confined spaces—for example, in automated furniture, ventilation, or robotics systems. How difficult is it to select an actuator with the optimal balance of force, stroke, and speed?
