This an assembly specifically designed to spread out heat, applying heat to the pipes will just make the whole thing hot. If you did take a giant blowtorch to it and got it hot enough to soften the pipes, you’d probably dry out the pipes (potentially explosively).

Heat pipes are cold worked in the factory. The metals chosen are ductile. Adding lots of heat will only add to the problems.

I just leave the adapter plugged into the headphones. Then there’s nothing extra to manage.

They are coaxial so you would have to carefully solder both the center wire and outer shield and keep the two from having electrical contact. Even if you manage to do that, there will be an impedance mismatch that might really degrade signal strength.

I would personally just shop for replacement antennae.

It’s not about that either. It’s about connecting photo ID to browsing profiles and deanonymising the internet.

Are redditors still diamond hands on gme?
