what do you mean by scrolling being unusable ? it's not a mouse wheel with steady scroll rate but something similar to flicking a finger. It's not great for long lists but it's far from being terrible, also part of the problem lies on the UI design for example having too long lists
It is terrible, it regularly fails to scroll or scrolls too far.
Okay, I think I've got this figured out.

See also: Apple TV (disambiguation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_TV_(disambiguation) Original programming for Apple TV+ seems to be very good. First three episodes for the "For All Mankind" (scifi) are good so are the three episodes for "See". The "The Morning Show" seems to be very good although I'm not in the target audience.
Watched 2 - 3 episodes of each this weekend to judge, and while there’s a lot of quality TV competing across pay channels lately, seems to me that Apple has nothing to be embarrassed about.
What? No mention of the Apple TV remote, the Apple TV Siri remote, the Apple TV remote app, or the iOS Apple TV remote app shortcut feature on iOS? The physical Apple remotes are so terrible, I've stopped using Apple TV (all of them). The Apple remote app is better, but is useless for when you need to hit pause, as your phone has gone to sleep.

The smart home integration buttons are nice, as is not having a screen that changes what buttons do.

What is the point of separating the macOS, iOS and tvOS apps into three? I think it unnecessarily complicates the thing. They are all mostly the same and only differ by the content they can play, which depends on third party support. Case in point: once you have defined the three terms, you only use the striped one except at the very end to highlight one difference, which only depends on hardware.

Which is funny because many critics/reviewers have panned all the new shows. I've only watched TMS so far and found it intriguing.

Dark times are still happening. Right now they're renaming everything Azure regardless of whether it's part of their cloud offerings. Also, Live was another Microsoft naming phase. For me, the canary in the coal mine of ms naming is their messenger. Msn messenger, live messenger, Skype, Skype for business, Teams... I assume the next iteration will be named Azure Teams.
Don't forget about everything being "visual". I learned just recently that Microsoft Visual Studio is completely different from Visual Studio Code.
"There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things." (Phil Karlton) Amusing that along with this, there are two articles about caches on the front page of HN right now.
There's also the unspoken third one which is off by one errors.

I thought Hotmail and Live were dead, replaced by Outlook.com?
Here's the fun part: if I type in Hotmail.com into my browser, I'm redirected to a page titled 'Outlook' that's on a subdomain of Live.com (outlook.live.com) But if I type in Live.com, I'm redirected to the same page that says 'Outlook' but is actually outlook.live.com So Hotmail is Outlook but Outlook is Live.com but Live.com itself is Outlook
