#'''Default''' - buy TRMNL device, that runs TRMNL firmware, and pings TRMNL server
#'''BYOD''' - build user's own device, that runs TRMNL firmware, and pings TRMNL server
#*This option requires that users pay "a small monthly fee to cover [the user's] compute time on [TRMNL's] servers, since [TRMNL doesn't] make any revenue on a device sale."<ref name=":0" />
#'''BYOD/S''' - build user's own device, mod TRMNL firmware, and ping the user's own server
#'''BYOS''' - buy TRMNL device, mod TRMNL firmware, and ping the user's own server
