And tinfoil, to isolate yourself from interference from external signals as everyone starts having 20+ Wi-Fi-connected devices in their homes ;). But yeah, I like how cheap wireless is now, it simplifies a lot of things.

I ordered a couple of these as well but GearBest is taking their sweet time shipping...

It's that Chinese spring holiday I think?

Though mine seems to have come from Singapore.
