New defense attorney wondering how much of the prosecutor's job you do for them

I'm currently at a firm and on the appointed case list (despite my efforts to get on with the local PD). I'm also newly licensed (November 2025).

The prosecutors I deal with always want me to do their job for them: "What is their history?" "Do they have an ICE hold?" "Have they been charged with this before?" "Are they on probation?" It is my understanding that it's their job to find those things. They have the burden of proof and I have a duty to protect client confidences. I know things are a little different when negotiating a plea deal, but even then I don't want to give them information that could be used if we go to trial.

How do you handle prosecutors like this? How do you maintain likeability so you can get a good outcome for your clients while also standing your ground on issues like this?

Need help with Xumo tv box after moving

I recently moved and brought my xfinity router and xumo box with me. "Moved" my account and everything.

The first day I moved in I set up my tv and was able to watch with no problems. After that, I cannot get past the xumo activation. Which is really weird because it worked fine the day before and I didn't do any type of reset or anything to the account.

Now I'm stuck on the xumo screen "Link your account. Let's finish the rest of setup so you can watch TV and use your apps." I click the button to link it, and it says "You're now connected. Let's finish the rest of setup so you can start watching your shows." I hit continue and it does the prompts to confirm it has the correct remote. Once I confirm, it says "You're now connected. Let's finish the rest of setup so you can start watching your favorite shows." I hit continue, it says "Your Xfinity-issue Xumo account. Great news, your Xfinity-issued Xumo account has been linked to your Xfinity-issued Xumo Stream Box. You're one step closer to watching your favorite shows." Continue > Where's your tv? > Select your timezone > Share your Xumo Play watch history > BACK TO THE SAME SCREEN I STARTED AT WITH "LINK YOUR ACCOUNT"

I have tried several times over the course of almost a week now. I've unplugged everything I can unplug, restarted the tv, turned everything off. I really don't want to do a factory reset (because I'm logged into a lot of different ppls streaming apps haha) and I fear that wouldn't help anyway.

Online support says something about a 6-digit code but I have no such code and don't know how to get one.

Also this whole time while I'm trying I can hear some show in the background. Sounds like a Christian sermon.

When I hit the 3 dot button on my remote and try "Search Shows & Movies" it says "To continue your search, please subscribe. Press [home] to find out how." The home button takes me back to that link account screen.

My network settings look fine; wifi says "Excellent WiFi connection."

Please someone help. I just want something in the background while I unpack haha. Also I don't have a smart tv so this is my only current option to access streaming on a tv /:
