Hard to tell but is it broken? The end with the holes looks like it’s either broken off something or missing a piece- hard to tell with fuzzy pic.
Honestly, we have 50MP phones, with stabilization and AI filters and all that, and still we get Bigfoot quality photos.
Doesn't look broken irl
This is wild. It almost looks like a tiny speaker, but the cable is strange for that. I don’t think it’s a thermocouple, - cable looks like it has at least 4 wires in it?
It seems to have 12
So it’s gotta be some kind of sensor array or something then. Speakers and whatnot wouldn’t have more than 2 or 3.
