Who remembers the Logitech feel mouse from early 2000’s? I had one and the haptic feedback was way ahead of its time. Buttons had different feedback. Drag and drop offered textures that felt like you were dragging something. It was highly configurable. Then suddenly dropped off the product line up.

OK. Remarkable Paper Pro Move ordered.
Let’s see if I fall in love with this handwritten note taking device.
I am looking forward to distraction-free writing on a screen. To get that on an iPad I have to switch Focus Mode on and also write perfectly with the apps and tools.

Mesh doesn’t work in the Teams mobile app. I played my part in testing it.
I’m not sure why the app OS offered in Teams mobile if the “platform [is] not supported for Mesh.”
This appears to be a bit of a mesh.

Since Combined Chats and Channels arrived I have used it constantly.
I have also frequently seen Microsoft’s offers like this to change it back to the old layout.
