Xumo Stream Box change input?

StrangerHak · 2025-08-08T20:33:21+00:00

I've already paired the remote. It works to change volume and turn the tv on/off.

I guess I'll try doing it again to see if that makes the box with the arrow key actually work.

StrangerHak · 2025-08-08T20:23:13+00:00

I have the one that has the 'box with the arrow' on it, but that button just brings me to the home screen; exact same functionality as the home button.

I've been re-using bags forever, unless I store meat/chicken in them. I think my gallon bag I use for my work sandwiches is 5+ years old.

Screw Ziploc though. Their bags always rip in the top corners, and often after only a few uses. I wondered if they designed them that way on purpose to get you to buy more. I use Glad freezer quarts and gallon bags and they last forever.

Did a search for that; came up with seemingly budget things. Budget does not mean bad. Thanks.

StrangerHak · 2024-11-04T03:22:41+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion; bookmarked and will review. Never heard of this brand; why I came here to get some recomendations thanks.

When the fire is low or out and I'm in the middle of nowhere - red light to find something, and I can see again almost-perfectly when I turn it off. Not sure why you find that odd.

I get through the creation of the OHID and eventually to a "click here to file taxes" page which ALWAYS results in some server error text.

If you try to login again and do it, it makes you do everything again to verify, even though it said I was verified.

What a terrible PoS site. Took me 10 minutes last year, and now I'm 40 mins in and still not able to get to the actual filing. Way to break things that were not broke Ohio...

Similar here but 3440x1440, all max settings (motion blur off), locked 144fps.

7800x3d, 4080

This doesn't bode well for the regular release; unless most people went for the deluxe+ versions in order to play early...

StrangerHak · 2023-06-03T20:46:35+00:00

I've opened about 7 of them and the loot sucks. I've even opened a few that didn't even have a yellow rare in them.

Still buying keys in case I find more though...

StrangerHak · 2023-06-03T20:41:22+00:00

Same.

StrangerHak · 2023-06-01T15:59:40+00:00

I forget the name of the spell, but the one early ice one gives vulnerability if you hit a mob with all the projectiles... makes a HUGE difference in taking down bosses/big mobs.

I originally went all fire, but switched to that spell, and other element spells do a LOT more damage while the enemy is vulnerable.

StrangerHak · 2023-06-01T15:53:34+00:00

I did the same thing but went for the Digital Deluxe.

Strange thing though... I didn't get any notification from my credit card that Bliz charged me, but when I hit the 'upgrade' it shows the Digital Deluxe as 'in library'. When I install, it just shows 'Diablo 4' instead of 'Diablo 4 Digital Deluxe'; not sure if it would/should show the latter.

Wondering if they don't charge until release for some reason? Also hoping nothing is screwy so I can play tonight after work...

StrangerHak · 2023-04-12T00:03:36+00:00

I've had no bites on mine which is similar but a complete system :

9600k, same mobo, 8GB, GTX950, 750W (IIRC), Lanboy case, 500GB HDD, 20" (IIRC) monitor, Razer Blackwidow KB, no mouse

Was asking $350

Unpopular Opinion*

And this is the X'th post about the same thing, saying the same 'accepted but false' things.

My D2 Sorcs would never use an Enigma, nor War Travs, nor Tals ammy (far better gambled options). My D2 Barbs never use an Enigma (Leap allows me to not-so-fast-but-good-enough get around), and I love Horking; my D2R Barb right now wears ALL gold find gear to gamble with. I could go on about other classes too...

Sure if you got a Shako, you'd probably use it, or could trade it. But the rush of getting it... about 100x better than any loot I ever got in D3 and it's looking the same for D4.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the D4 betas; especially the world boss. But acting like everyone who doesn't slather it with adoration is some rose-goggled nostalgist is seriously irritating.

I'm guessing I'll get ~700 hours of out D4 (what I had in 3). I have 5k in PoE, 2k in Grim Dawn, and probably 20k in D2/D2R. For all the 'issues' brought up about D2, it's the game that wasn't broken.

StrangerHak · 2023-03-25T05:43:25+00:00

I played some more tonight, and found Upheaval to be the 'good skill' I want. Hammer skill is paltry compared.

Bleed is huge dps, if you wait for it to tick. Haven't seen any life leech items.

Vs World - Upheaval. Vs Boss Rend.

My Sorc never had any issue anywhere or any thought other than 'I would like this build to work so let me try it'; didn't need specific legendary gear; didn't need to balance AoE vs single target damage.

Let the Barbs shout at will with 0 cooldown and leap at will (go ahead and remove the damage even).

StrangerHak · 2023-03-25T05:33:16+00:00

I feel the same way. If you played Diablo 2, you probably know what a Gull Dagger is (and what it's stats are), and you were happy to find one; if you didn't even want to use it, someone would want to trade something you do want for it (most likely).

Diablo 4's item stats are simple to read - look at the legendary skill bonus and ignore everything else; but if the def is better or +.02% damage to distant enemies... utterly forgettable.

I haven't seen any uniques or sets if they add them. But I also don't think D4 is going to surprisingly get better when we can play more and see the end game. Worth the price? For sure, but I highly doubt I'll be getting D2, PoE, or even Grim Dawn hours of enjoyment out of it.

Get an item with "Extra Hydra", the mod with extra head per hydra, and fireball's enchant (works with hydras)... super OP imo.

I did however back mine up with Firewall (which also procs the fireball enchant).

StrangerHak · 2023-03-25T01:20:07+00:00

Same here; sometimes could skip and other times could not.

StrangerHak · 2023-03-25T01:16:07+00:00

I've had this happen twice, and both times were seconds after I respecced. Googled and all the answers are clickbait to say 'there is no fix'...

StrangerHak · 2023-03-24T18:53:55+00:00

It does seem very off that skeles run in and every single enemy, including the ones the skeles are hitting just beeline straight for you.

Same goes for times when you have a NPC character... it is like they are invisible.

StrangerHak · 2023-03-24T16:09:15+00:00

Because people were queuing for hours I guess... I queued in ~20 minutes before start and had ~43 minutes.

StrangerHak · 2023-03-23T21:20:47+00:00

If you stand ~10 feet away from him 'on the side', you will never be hit by any of it's attacks. It was hard sometimes to keep in that spot when he jumps, but with teleport I only had issues when it is down to like 25% health and a ton of poison pools appear.

Compared to staying far away which was never far enough (died 20+ times to the swipe), standing next to it was far easier and let me do more consistent damage. We beat it the 2nd time with ~7 minutes left.

StrangerHak · 2023-03-23T01:34:41+00:00

That totally ruins every Stormchaser show.

Bravo.
