    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an expansion slot, a peripheral device connected to the expansion slot, and a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion slot. The processor is to determine that a compatibility of the peripheral device with active state power management (ASPM) is unknown, provide a notification to indicate that the compatibility of the peripheral device with ASPM is unknown, wherein the notification provides a selection between disabling ASPM for the peripheral device or enabling ASPM for the peripheral device, and configure a basic input/output system (BIOS) setting in accordance with the selection to control the ASPM for the peripheral device.

    Abstract: In one example, touchpad assembly is disclosed, which may include a bottom cover, a horizontal elastic member flexibly positioned on the bottom cover, a balancing bar disposed on the bottom cover and substantially parallel to the horizontal elastic member, and a metal dome. The metal dome may include a first end fixedly connected to the bottom cover via a first fixture, and a second end to hold the horizontal elastic member and the balancing bar such that the balancing bar is flexibly engaged with the bottom cover. The balancing bar, the metal dome, and the horizontal elastic member may control a flexure of a touchpad when the touchpad is pressed.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to a computing device for detecting and preventing melting of a component of the computing device. In some examples, the computing device includes a cable that connects a power supply unit and an add-on card, and a thermal protection controller. Based on a sensor signal from a temperature sensor of the cable, the thermal protection controller determines that a temperature associated with the cable exceeds a threshold temperature. Responsive to determining that the temperature associated with the cable exceeds the threshold temperature, the thermal protection controller causes the power supply unit to cease supplying power to the add-on card by transmitting an overtemperature signal through the cable.

    Abstract: In example implementations, a computing device is provided. The computing device includes a system management bus, a controller communicatively coupled to the system management bus, a noise generating component communicatively coupled to the controller, a noise cancellation codec communicatively coupled to the system management bus, and a speaker communicatively coupled to the noise cancellation codec. The operating parameters of the noise generating component are provided to the controller. The noise cancellation codec is to receive the operating parameters of the noise generating component from the controller via the system management bus and to generate a noise cancellation signal based on the operating parameters. The speaker outputs the noise cancellation signal to cancel noise generated by the noise generating component.

    Abstract: In example implementations, a computing device is provided. The computing device includes an expansion interface that includes a plurality of slots. A first add-in card is connected to a first slot of the plurality of slots. A second add-in card is connected to a second slot of the plurality of slots. The computing device includes a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion interface. The processor is to detect that the first add-in card is compatible with a power savings control signal and that the second add-in card is not compatible with the power savings control signal, disable the power savings control signal to the second slot, and transmit the power savings control signal to the first slot when the first add-in card goes into a power savings mode.
