Ha, good thing I clicked on your link. I thought you were talking about these, until I realized I'd read it wrong [emoji14]

I had to scroll up or down for the screenshot on that one.I chose to lop-off the disclaimer regarding other areas not being shown.
Here's the missing info on that (@ the top of the screenshot & now included in the OP):

Looks like a handheld megaphone?
I could tell you what it really is now that I googled it, but then I won't impress anyone.

The fact that you Googled it impresses the Hell outta me
,in a world of TLDR's/too f***ing lazy to Google-I think I'll just clog up the forums w/questions that have answers already & the like.................. 
Hmm, mute for a brass instrument - trumpet or trombone perhaps?
If you're running Chrome, you can right click on an image and do a reverse image search straight from there.
I DIDN'T, I'm just saying that you could. It's pretty easy to Google things these days.
I finally ordered a replacement for my beloved Logitech G9x gaming mouse which died back in the fall.
I'm pretty excited.
I'm pretty excited.
Just snagged me one for the upcoming Note 6 - get one while you can!

Correct! Actually a compact practice mute for trombone. It provides air flow resistance, so you have to blow harder. It's good for developing tone quality, and general ability to play 'blastissimo'. Plus the rest of the family will thank me for it, as it takes a few decibels off the volume level

Put it in spoiler, was too long and might disturb a lot of folks.
Finally bought my new tablet a week ago! It can dual-boot Android and Windows 10. Just an experimental purchase. I was really not expecting much but I found myself enjoying a tablet running Windows than Android. It just much better on so many areas. The specs isn't mind blowing but its a budget tablet that only cost around 180$ but it still packs quite an enjoyable experience.
First of all its a tablet made by the most popular local brand of my country, Cherry Mobile. They're popular since they deliver devices with good specs for a very affordable(sometimes, ridiculously low) price. For a long time I stayed away on this brand because they usually offer very low-end devices but after 2014 they started offering good to great devices without the high price tag. My last two devices came to them and I'm a happy customer.
Bout the device, it comes with Windows 10 pre-installed but the Android counterpart is a little disappointing shipping with 4.4.2 kitkat. For 180$ it is bundled with 1 year MS Office for free and 1TB of one drive. That is a good 84$ dollars free already.
The keyboard-slash-flipcover-slash-stand was a nice bonus. The keyboard doesn't require bluetooth or a cable and all you have to do is attach the tablet to the magnet and you're good to go. Not having mouse button beside the touchpad was a downer though. Function+CTRL/START will never be fun.
Booting to windows takes around 30 seconds and android around 15 seconds. If you're using windows and want to switch to Android, you'll have to shut down first and open the tablet again and choose on the boot-up screen while on android when you hold the power button the usual Power Off, Reboot and Airplane mode have an additional option that you can use that will restart the tablet and will automatically boot to Windows.
Performance wise, its okay. The 2gb ram, gpu and the processor is a bliss when using android but for running windows there are some obvious slowness when using the browser(Edge) from time to time but its okay for running the important stuffs like the MS Office, Photoshop Express and some games like SoulCraft(graphic test and fortunately it run smoothly), Casia and Nocturne with no problem. They said it can run Dota 2, LOL and CS:GO smoothly but I'm not interested on those games.
I thought that the WGXA resolution will be a total downer but I find it more than decent since it is considerably much farther when I'm holding compared to when I'm using my smartphone. My only complain is that my 5 year old laptop's screen is much brighter that this tablet. Still, its sharp enough and vibrant.
Battery life varies around 4-5 hours of screen-on time when running windows. Haven't tested enough on android but I think it should last for around 6 hours. Very grateful that CM was kind enough to put in an 8000 mah battery, my other 250$ android 8" tablet only have 4000mah of battery and doesn't last for 3 hours because of its Quad HD display. Charge time is around 4 hours which I'm okay to deal with. Brought it to school for 3 days. Viewing ppt, docx and pdf, some coding, playing a little and playing music and I found myself going home with still enough juice to play with it before charging.
I also kinda liked the design, could only be me but my other Android tablet that what most people consider "pretty" because of its thinness and curvy design but I hate how thin and slippery it is and so I rarely uses it while on the other hand I like this thick, rubberized back and rugged looking machine.

Thank you @PattiCakeUS those were 100%, fully certified, absolute class posts - perfect for a Friday end of day smile (I'm in UK) So what that the 2nd one made me snort a bit of coffee and attracted some weird looks -
I love how sometimes a wee, unexpected gem like that can be so funny. Here's to a good weekend!
Bought me one of these while on vacation. A Key West Jeweler had them on sale and because we were on a cruise, coming from the Bahamas, there was no duty, and if they shipped it to my home, there's not tax either, it was a "bargain" ... but you don't want to know what it cost anyway.

That's the principle I use when buying any watch, here's the last one I bought.
And I'm fully confident that in the future it will at least keep its value
