The Life of Levi Rupp: Part 4
Levi and Malcolm got into the locker room after school, changed out and were the first on the field, and soon after the rest of the team was also changed out and with them on the field. They still had some time before practice started, but the team was ready to go behind Malcolm and Levi. “Everyone’s early, you guys have time before Coach starts.” “You’re our QB Levi, if you’re on the field then we are too. We want a winning season, we all agreed to follow your lead.” Levi seemed impressed and also flattered that the team thought so highly of him. “Alright, who feels comfortable leading the warm up drills?” One teammate raised his hand and stepped forward. “I got it.” “Then let’s get started.” Levi and the team began setting up the drills and starting their warm-ups as Coach Peters walked out blowing the whistle to gain our attention. “Huddle up!” Coach Peters yelled, and shortly we were all on a knee before Coach. “Y’all ready to work?” “YES COACH!” We yelled in unison. “Good. We have a season to win.” “I need the JV team on the visitor side, and my varsity team on the home side. JV you’ll take your calls from the defensive coach, Varsity you get me.” “YES COACH!” With a short huddle break, we all split as directed. “Levi a word please.” Coach Peters called after me as I was headed to the sideline, “Coach.” Turning to stand before him. “Look I don’t know what you’re telling these boys, but keep it up.” “Yes coach.” “Also, you’re not repping today. Take a seat.” “Wait, what?” “You heard me. The bench, go.” “Yes coach.” Levi was in shock, after all his hard work, after battling for QB he was being benched in practice. Why would Coach do this? “Levi, what’re you doing on the bench?” Malcolm asked, sweat dripping from his chin, “Coach’s orders.” Levi said a little defeated. “Hey, chin up. You’re still QB 1!” Malcolm said as encouragingly as possible. “Thanks man.” Giving Malcolm a handshake, he left to get back in rotation for the JV and Varsity scrimmage game. A game Levi was looking forward to playing in. “Silas!” Coach was calling for Silas, who Levi hadn’t seen at practice today, “Anyone see Silas?” Coach began asking, “No coach, he hasn’t shown.” Levi began scanning the stands and sidelines for Silas himself curious as to why Silas wouldn’t show. “Levi!” Coach hollered, and Levi excited to get reps bolted to Coach Peters, helmet thrown on. “Levi, take your helmet off.” Defeated, Levi took his helmet off and looked boldly at Coach Peters, “Go look for Silas please. I need him to get reps in at WR, his routes need work.” “Sure thing Coach” Levi couldn’t help but hang his head a bit. “Levi.” Coach said with his hand on Levi’s shoulder. Levi glanced up, a small amount of hurt in his eyes, “We’ll talk after practice.” “Coach, can we talk in the morning?” “Sure Levi. Bright and early. Now go find Silas.” As Coach’s hand slipped off Levi’s shoulder, Levi carried his helmet low in his hand by the facemask and began hunting for Silas. There was only one place Silas might be, the locker room.

Google Pixel Display Brightness Bug: Issues with March Update Affect Some Users
Following the most recent update in March, several Google Pixel users have reported a confusing display brightness issue in recent weeks. The issue, which seems to affect multiple Pixel models, is causing some users to experience unexpected dimming or inconsistent brightness levels on their devices. Since this bug has a significant impact on user experience, tech enthusiasts and industry professionals alike have paid close attention to it. Recognizing the Problem After installing the March update, a number of users began noticing that their device screens did not respond correctly to brightness adjustments. Reports indicate that the display either remains unusually dim despite manual adjustments or exhibits erratic behavior, switching brightness levels randomly. These inconsistencies not only make it hard to see the screen in different lighting situations, but they also hurt the user experience as a whole on a flagship device like the Google Pixel. To voice their concerns, a lot of users have used social media and online forums. The fact that the issue appears to be sporadic is a common theme in these discussions; some users claim that the issue only occurs occasionally, while others assert that it persists until the device is restarted or a workaround is implemented. The fact that this issue surfaced immediately following a software update suggests that recent changes to the device's operating system or display driver configurations are likely the source of the issue. Technical Details and Possible Causes Technical experts suspect that the bug might be linked to the new algorithms or adjustments made to the brightness sensor handling in the March update. Google releases updates on a regular basis that improve adaptive brightness features in order to improve screen visibility in a variety of lighting conditions. However, if the calibration of these sensors or the integration of new software components is off, it could lead to erratic behavior.
