They really can't actually compete. The upfront costs to make a factory and assembly line and all that automation {or human labor) is astronomically higher in price and slower in build in the US, compared to China. There really is no way the US can compete with China on pricing in manufacturing vehicles.

Which is why it should just be left to die off instead of propping up the industry that moved half their plants to Mexico, anyhow.

    Effing Facebook idiots are full on conspiracy cover up mode with this. Spouting it was really a missile and the plane and radio traffic was all a Psy op cover up and shit. They're nutty as hell. It wouldn't even make sense.

    They should consider not trying to burn down the hospitals and attacking the foreign aid docs that try going there to help when the hospitals try to prevent the families of the deceased from taking and touching the bodies. Their own willful ignorance is killing them.

    Twas the night before Christmas

    and all through the house

    everyone felt shitty

    even the mouse.

    With mom at the whore house

    and dad smokin grass

    I settled down

    for a nice piece of ass

    when out on the lawn

    arose such a clatter

    I sprang from my piece

    to see what was the matter

    and out on the lawn

    I seen some big dick

    and I knew in a moment

    it must be St.Nick

    he flew down my chimney like a bat out of hell

    and i knew in a moment

    the fucker had fell

    He filled all our stocking with pretzels and beer

    and a big rubber dick

    for my brother, the queer.

    then he rose up the chimney with a thunderous fart

    the son of a bitch blew my chimney apart

    cussing and cursing as he rode out of sight.

    pissing on all

    having one hell of a night.

    I made a few lyric changes from when I learned this one in grade school, circa 1994ish. The great ones will last the generations. Merry Christmas!

     

    Haven't seen any info over Lemmy about it, so I thought I'd make a post to answer any questions for those interested. I was worried about how well it would work on t mobile in the US, since the phone is missing a band T-Mobile relies on. So far I haven't had any issues though. The cities I usually travel around have had plenty of coverage for data without it and near as I can tell the wifi calling and texting has also been great. I came from a samsung note 20 ultra on t mobile, and switching was as simple as putting my sim card in the RM 11 pro and powering it on.

     

    I have the one default user "deck" in desktop mode. It looks like it's set to a standard account type.

    I can't add a user or change this without a pop up asking "Authentication is required to change user data" and wanting "authenticating as root" password.

    Leaving it blank fails. Putting in my sudo password that I have set and at this point double checked multiple times from within Konsole fails as well. I'll go in Konsole and type "passwd" then I'll type the current password and it will say "changing password for deck" and the change works fine. I'll close Konsole, but still have the same issue outside of konsole. Entering a password fails when trying to modify user or update anything.

    I can't update anything on desktop now, and I can't figure out what the heck the issue with it is.

    Does anyone have a clue? Thanks

    Edit\update: Tried a million things. Couldn't get back root access. Made a steam OS boot image on a micro SD card and used it in the steam deck to re-install steam OS but keep my downloads\user files etc. This worked and got back "deck" as admin account as it should be. All better.
