Abstract:
In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, a computing device docking station is described. The computing device docking station includes a computing device port to receive a connector of a host computing device and a display device port to receive a connector of a display device. The computing device docking station also includes a dock management controller. The dock management controller is to 1) determine a status of the computing device docking station and 2) generate a notification indicating the status of the computing device docking station. The computing device docking station also includes a display controller to generate an on-screen display (OSD) presentation of the notification on the display device coupled to the display device port.
Abstract:
An example method in a dock management controller of a main computing device includes storing. in a designated storage region controlled by the dock management controller. a driver for a component of the main computing device: receiving a docking status of the main computing device: and when the docking status indicates that the main computing device is engaged by a second computing device. exposing the designated storage region for access by the second computing device to allow the second computing device to access the driver to utilize the component of the main computing device as a peripheral device.
Abstract:
In some examples, a computer includes a display panel, a bezel around the display panel, a camera, and a plurality of separate light sources integrated into the bezel at respective different locations.
Abstract:
In some examples, an electronic device includes a port and a controller. The controller compares an encrypted identifier received via a side-band communications channel of the port to a trusted identifier retrieved from a storage device. Responsive to the encrypted identifier being equivalent to the trusted identifier, the controller compares an encrypted user credential received via the port to a trusted user credential retrieved from the storage device. Responsive to the encrypted user credential being equivalent to the trusted user credential, the controller enables a user access to the electronic device.

Abstract:
A technique includes providing a communication path in a network switch for communication of data between a first device coupled to the switch and a second device coupled to the network switch. The technique includes using the network switch to regulate tagging of the data to control a virtual local area network identity association of the data based at least in part on a network over which the communication occurs.
