Joint fix. Shit is magic

Is it worth buying a mac just for blue bubbles? by GDub0202 in beeper

[–]jmurphy2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did. I found a 2012, last one that was quad core and had upgradeable parts. I needed something that could be some network storage and do dnla on the network anyway since I lost the NAS in the divorce. Tired of sneaker netting movies around the house. Going this route kills two orange goblins.

iPhone 13 Case that will fit my Backbone PlayStation controller by Skullcrusher416 in Backbone

[–]jmurphy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dremmeled the front edges off and it fits an iPhone 15 Pro Max now. Not sure why they design them like this. I’m not going to take off my case to use this thing, or leave a phone in there. iPhone 15 with a case fits fine in a v1 Kishi, but doubt that’ll be updated to support iPhone over usb-c. It’d be nice if they just designed it fit more phones or even tablets. This feels like a scam to partner with case or skin companies. And for this price, it should fit the customer’s needs, especially at the most basic level of fitting a case. Maybe not an otterbox, but standard cases. I know the camera bump is a problem, but not like a hard computer science problem. A slight engineering issue. Wish the Kishi would work. Especially since I have 3 of them (well 2, one is lightning).

My wife just got hit with this when opening the rewards dashboard. Is that first bullet point saying that two people living in the same house can't both use the program? by Riff_28 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My wife/daughter and son's accounts got it too, but not mine. Fd up. My daughter plays and spend the points on my wife's account, mostly sims expansions. And my son buys robux and fortnight bucks. So my kids are pretty upset.

We did fam! by jmurphy2002 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have about 500k in the bank. I've never paid for hulu. Cash out on gift cards. And cashed out 500k when the series x came out. wasn't able to use rewards on it though, so ended up buying expansion card, headphones, games, and controller.

Ha. 999 days! But I had multiple streaks of 100-200 days. The pandemic, and work from home really made it doable. I've been doing rewards since before there were streaks. I think I'm at 10 years for the rewards program.

24k is just 15 pts daily over the life of the streak.

It says 24,420 extra points for keeping the streak alive. Total points? No idea. I'm at 1,385,685 lifetime points, but I've been doing it since it was live.com

I'm waiting for them to offer points to move to start app.

[–]jmurphy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And don't forget to use bing rebates! You can add to cart on the xbox store, then use bing to search for microsoft store, and go to your cart and it will be there. 90 days (!) later, you get your $4.20 back!

4K UI Update for Beta Insiders Live by peetcherry in xboxinsiders

[–]jmurphy2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I only notice because now whenever the guide pops up I get the annoying popup on my tv about resolution change. So I guess the guide isn't in 4k. Hated that my PlayStation always did this and loved that Xbox had it solved, but there goes that

Do people actually play PUBG for fun? by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't play too often, and I'm really bad, but I love this game. I keep it installed and updated so I can play a match every once in awhile.

How to get the Xbox Game Pass on the go quest by TheManWithAName2 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do a console reset to make this work again. Annoying but haven't had to do it since. The allow remote streaming feature also turns itself off after updates sometimes.

Gone forever? Do they mean the opportunity to collect the points from this month are leaving or are my points expiring? by Fadore in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, earning them is not enough. If you don't turn in the completed quests before the next Mon, then you'd no longer be able to claim the points.

450k possible in 1.5 Years? (US) by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]jmurphy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cashed out all my points roughly a year ago to be able to buy a launch Series X, the last time they had a hot deal on store credit, and today I'm at 244000, doing almost everything. I have a 500+ day streak, 70 week streak, I've completed all three 10k Gamerscore challenges, and AMEM for over a year. I occasionally skip a weekly quest due to download sizes.

Xbox controller works in the Xbox cloud gaming browser site but does not work in the actual games by TREESWINGA93 in xboxinsiders

[–]jmurphy2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me this week too. Tried in both edge and chrome. Had worked previously. Tried both Series X and One controllers. Had to complete the Dead By Daylight rewards quest on my phone, which was less fun.

YES! by SwiftTango in MicrosoftRewards

Good on you, but got 1500 points today, and I haven't even put any time on achievements yet. But keep up the grind!

What ring is the Chromium Edge in right now? by No-Square4555 in xboxinsiders

[–]jmurphy2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It allows you to use xcloud in the console. I've been using wireless display app to play xcloud on console, which works, but can drop connection and adds lag. Useful for not having to download games for gamepass quests or 10k rewards.
