I never understood the negative stigma of living in a mobile home. To me, they are much better than apartments. Sure having an actual, full-size home is the ideal choice, but I'd rather pick a mobile home over an apartment. For one, in most cases, you actually own the thing, just renting the land to place said home. And two, there is significant enough space between homes so you can worry less about noisy neighbors, which makes it much more preferable if you have kids.

Also, the whole "trailer trash" stereotype is way overblown. For one, mobile homes and trailers are two different things. And two, I've been to trailer parks and the vibe is more wholesome than anything. A lot of the people there tend to be minimalist rather than poor and/or uneducated.

Really the only disadvantage is the issue with tornadoes or other severe weather, though some trailer parks do have shelters for this reason.

@beardalaxy @GrungeQueef Computers for all I know, but they might also do so for CPUs and GPUs, but I haven't checked.

@beardalaxy @GrungeQueef Another thing is that Microsoft makes money off of hardware via the "Microsoft tax". Basically Microsoft takes a cut of money off of every piece of hardware sold that Windows supports.

Really as far as intellectual property is concerned, Microsoft only cares about protecting their source code. Otherwise hardware manufacturers can just release computers using modified versions of Windows just so they can avoid the MS tax.

@beardalaxy @GrungeQueef Ironic given that Microsoft basically pioneered the proprietary software model. Though Microsoft used to have some slogan saying "if you are going to pirate software, pirate ours."

@cjd Really? Last time I checked, every White-on-White dating site gets financially cancelled.

If you count PaleMoon, yes, but that's based off of an older version and the lead developer is very opinionated on various thing and not in a good way.
