A rotation base has a base circular structure. A display backing has a backing circular structure. The backing circular structure is rotatably attached to the base circular structure to permit the display backing to rotate between landscape and portrait orientations relative to the rotation base. One of the base and backing circular structures defines a slot. The other of the base and backing circular structures defines a tab rotatably disposed within the slot.

Circular structures for rotation of backing relative to base

According to examples, an apparatus may include a first hardware component including a first memory and a first processor. The first processor may initiate pairing between the first hardware component and a second hardware component to establish a trusted relationship between the first hardware component and a second hardware component. In response to a successful pairing between the first hardware component and the second hardware component, the processor may compare a first setting of the first hardware component with a second setting of the second hardware component. In response to a determination that the second setting corresponds to the first setting, the processor may authorize operation of the second hardware component.
