For now, Tangled is not monetising. Instead, its focus is on building the best next-gen code forge. “Down the line, we’re inspired by companies like Tailscale: give the product away to individuals and open-source users, and charge businesses for enterprise-level features. Eighty per cent of users get it free. The twenty per cent who need advanced capabilities — companies — pay. That approach creates goodwill and love for the product. We’re still designing what that looks like for Tangled, but we won’t paywall core functionality.”

bbbbbr ‪@bbbbbr.bsky.social‬ Been reverse engineering (keyboard, rtc, etc) the #MegaDuck #SuperQuiQue laptop. It's like #GameBoy #Workboy except it actually shipped. It has same GB compatible cpu (sm83) and with slightly altered registers as Megaduck Handheld. Anyhow, turns out the System ROM has a Y2K12 bug, max year 2011😄
