For nearly the last year, we've seen reports that [Pixels are almost randomly losing their Widevine L1 status](https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/04/09/some-pixels-are-experiencing-poor-netflix-quality-after-recent-updates-heres-how-to-check-if-youre-affected/) — a particularly nerdy way of saying they're unable to stream HD content in apps like Netflix. Plenty of causes have been bandied about, but a concrete solution for the issue wasn't clear. Fortunately for those affected, anecdotal reports indicate the Android 12L Feature Drop fixes the issue, and Google confirms to us that the problem was patched in the latest update.
