• sdev — the device to check. that's it, that's the whole input, she's lowkey simple like that 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what she does is check if the given device has been marked as hot-removed. yes, marked — somebody else does the marking, she just checks 👑

for the actual deets on the marking situation, go read ssam_device_mark_hot_removed. she's the main character of that story, this one is just the vibe check 😌

---
