An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions executable by a processing resource of an electronic device. The instructions cause the electronic device to receive a communication associated with a first mode of communication via the communication device and determine an intent to change from the first mode of communication to a second mode of communication. In response to determining the intent, the instructions cause the electronic device to determine that a communication device associated with the second mode of communication is not in a ready state and assist the communication device associated with the second mode of communication to be in the ready state.

Communication device ready state assistance

An example computing device includes a plurality of interfaces to connect to a plurality of audio peripheral devices, a communications interface to establish a network connection, and a processor interconnected with the plurality of interfaces and the communications interface. The processor is to determine a location of the computing device based on the network connection. The processor sets an audio peripheral device from the plurality of the audio peripheral devices as a default audio peripheral device based on the location. The processor communicates an audio signal through the default audio peripheral device.

Audio peripheral device selections

An example of a first computing device may include firmware, a controller, and a processor. The processor may be to generate a trust state message, to be sent to the controller, indicating the firmware of the first computing device is operating a trusted environment and utilize the firmware to validate an update within the trusted environment. The controller may be to assert, responsive to receiving the trust state message, a trust state signal to a second computing device indicating the firmware of the first computing device is operating the trusted environment The assertion of the trust state signal may be to enable the second computing device to install the validated update.
