How to create the perfect geek cave using linear actuators

geek cave

Every single man wishes to have his own little space where he can just enjoy spending time and doing whatever he wants. Not everyone has the means to create the perfect man cave and some easily give up on their dreams. The good news is that creating a man cave is not necessarily an expensive thing to do. You only need a little bit of imagination and the time to build it yourself. If you happen to be a geek and wish for a geek cave things can get even pleasant as you will have to tinker with a lot of things when creating your perfect space.

First of all, men need space in order to create their man cave. For this, the basement or the garage can prove to be the perfect spot. It’s highly unlikely that the majority of men will want to have flowers and plants all around, instead, they will probably opt for screens and such. This is why it’s not important for the man cave to have great natural lighting. Geek caves won’t need to much sun either as computers work perfectly in the dark too. To be honest, it’s even better not to have too much direct sunlight as it will interfere with the visibility of the screens.

Comfort is especially desired by men when creating their perfect man caves. While geeks normally aren’t as focused on comfort, they will also need a certain amount of it. Besides comfortable furniture, guys can turn their man caves or geek caves into really cool places using linear actuators. In case you don’t know exactly what those are, the principle of how does a linear actuator work was described at 12v actuators.com. The name might be fancy but it is actually quite easy to use linear actuators and the results will always be greater than you could have thought.

With the help of these simple linear actuators, any man can turn his man cave or geek cave into the perfect room to spend time in. With the actuators, anyone can automatize a lot of things in a room. Just imagine how impressed the guys will be when your TV will start descending towards the middle of the wall just before the game starts. Of course, moving the TV is not the only use you can put linear actuators to. They can also help in opening the garage door, moving the minibar and what not more. Automating certain things with the help of linear actuators in your geek cave will not only turn the cave into a really comfortable one but it will also blow the minds of your friends.

Play Comfortably

Automation with the help of linear actuators is also great when you have little space. Hiding away objects and pulling them out only when needed can save a lot of room. This way, geeks can hang out comfortably before the esports championship starts and pull down the screen exactly in time for the games to start. As I already said, using linear actuators in incredibly easy. The end result is great, and thankfully the process of getting there is also rewarding. Also, it is notable that if you really work on creating the man cave or geek cave yourself, spending time in it will be a lot more pleasant than if anyone else does the work. So start working and enjoy the results!

Sony’s PS5 firmware update is everyone’s favorite news story. It’s been a while, but don’t get too excited—this is just a minor one. No biggie.

PS5 system software 23.01-07.40.00 does what? Latest firmware patch notes:

  • System software performance and stability increased.
  • We improved screen messaging and usability.

That’s it! Sony’s definition of “some screens” is unclear, but perhaps it improves communications. PS5 messages weren’t a problem, though. The update is barely over 1GB, so updating your console won’t take long.

Excited for this PS5 update?

Want Diablo 4 immortality? Hardcore Level 100 Before Most Others

The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.

Honoring the dying.

Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?

Sony Expects 108 Million PS5 Sales This Generation

After the COVID-19 supply collapse, Sony CEO Jim Ryan is optimistic about PS5 sales. The Sony executive anticipates the PS5, the best-selling console for months, will sell 108 million units.

That’s difficult stuff considering Sony needs to sell 70 million more PS5s. Since supply has increased, consoles are selling like hotcakes in major countries, suggesting the firm is above 40 million.

Ryan stated in a recent games business briefing webcast and Q&A (thanks, TweakTown):

“The 70 million, I think, is the existing PlayStation 4 user base, and while we would hope to convert a large number of those people, we will definitely target and definitely be successful in bringing large numbers of gamers who did not own a PlayStation 4, and in many instances, who have never owned a PlayStation at all.”

Mr. Ryan’s numbers—should we focus on the 108 part?
