Apparatuses, systems, methods, and program products are disclosed for context-based program selection. A resource module receives a resource selection. A characteristic module determines at least one characteristic of the resource. The at least one characteristic includes either content within the resource and/or metadata associated with the resource. A program module selects a program to open the resource based on the at least one characteristic of the resource.

Context-based program selection

For providing granular quality of service (QoS) for computing resources in a computing system, systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor having a plurality of processor cores and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to identify a thread belonging to a computing process, to identify one or more thread-level tags associated with the thread, to determine a computational requirement of the thread based on the one or more thread-level tags, and to assign the thread to one of the processor cores based on the computational requirement. In certain embodiments, the may include code executable by the processor to allocate hardware resources to the thread based on an intra-process priority, the hardware resources being allocated from a set of hardware resources assigned to the computing process.

Granular quality of service for computing resources

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using a processor, a presence of a known device within a predetermined range; and adjusting, using the processor, an audio output volume based on the presence of the known device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Adjusting audio output volume based on a detected presence of another device

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for resizing interfaces based on eye gaze. A method includes tracking a user's eye gaze using an eye tracking sensor, determining, by a processor, that the user is looking at a pane of a multipane interface based on the user's eye gaze, and dynamically resizing the pane that the user is looking at in response to determining that the user is looking at the pane.

Resizing interfaces based on eye gaze

For a secure device chamber, the device chamber is disposed in a chassis and includes a device port. A door latches to obstruct access to the device chamber. A logic circuit receives an uninterrupted power supply from a computer, stores a device access value, and unlatches the door in response to activation of a chamber eject button and a device access value not being a device secure mode.

Secure device chamber

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for delaying notification delivery based on user activity. A method includes detecting, by a processor, an external sound using a microphone, determining that the external sound comprises a message that is of interest to the user, and notifying the user of the message in response to determining that the message is of interest to the user.

Notifying a user of external audio

In one aspect, a device includes a processor, at least one at least partially transparent display accessible to the processor, at least one eye sensor accessible to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to present content at a first location on the at least partially transparent display and, based at least in part on data from the eye sensor, determine whether a user is looking one of at least substantially at the first location and past the first location. The instructions are also executable to, in response to a determination that the user is looking past the first location, remove the content from presentation at the first location.
