🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually do? She opens the GNSS device and starts filling the read buffer for the consumer. that's it. that's the whole gig, and she does it flawlessly ✨

like, the way that opening the device kicks off the buffer-filling so the consumer has something to read? iconic behavior tbh 🔥
