π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's what's happening: this kicks off a block of data transfer π₯ the transfer itself is not your problem, bestie β it will be managed by the controller, and we'll get a completion (or failure) interrupt π«Ά so you just light the fuse and the controller handles the rest, and you'll hear back either way. periodt π
ngl this is giving "start the job and go touch grass" energy and honestly? slay π
