11 months ago Without the parenthetical, the sentence reads like this:
The mode a processor is in controls what it's allowed to do.
I think this is grammatically correct and says what I'm trying to say. I did find this sentence a little hard to read, but I struggled to come up with better alternatives. I'm going to close this issue for now, but if you have a suggested phrasing I am more than happy to consider it!
Thank you for the feedback and I'm really glad you've liked the article so far — let me know if you have any questions.

Is there anything wrong with the phrasing of this statement? Should there be something like "makes sure that" after the closing parathesis? I don't know; it seemed a little out of place, so I considered raising an issue here.
Also, it's a great read; I really appreciate your writing here. Being a beginner to system programming and from a non-CS background, this seems like a perfect resource to start off. Still reading it though, hope to complete it soon :)
