Tunnels for my Cat(6e)

Also the grey cable’s clip broke in the hacked case from earlier so a coupler and extension was necessary.

Couldn't find a 1/4 inch jack to USB-C adapter, quickly needed a wireless handheld microphone for a video.

These large wireless microphones use a bulky receiver which has a guitar jack. I don't want to carry that around, especially connected to 2 different dongles, which introduce noise anyway.

I needed a wireless handheld microphone, which connected to a phone with USB-C.
So it was time for a bodge job.

I took apart a wireless lapel microphone, wrapped it's insides in tape to prevent shorting with the large microphone's metal grill, stuffed it next to the microphones capsule, closed it and added a windscreen.

Literally the only downside is that you have to take it apart to turn it on or off.
