What are peripheral devices of computerAddocart com
A computer peripheral is a device that is connected to a computer but is not part of the core computer architecture. The core elements of a computer are the central processing unit, power supply, motherboard and the computer case that contains those three components. Technically speaking, everything else is considered a peripheral device. However, this is a somewhat narrow view, since various other elements are required for a computer to actually function, such as a hard.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

2. Keyboard and mouse- you should clean your keyboard often, dirt, dust, hair,
and food can accumulate, this can cause the keys to jam of malfunction. You can
use compressed air to clean your keyboard.
A mouse with a ball can be difficult to move if the rollers are clogged. You should
clean your mouse often to help eliminate jerky or erratic movement of the mouse
pointer. To clean your mouse remove the bottom cover of the mouse.
Inkjet Printer/laser printer- After so much usage small deposits of dry ink
accumulate in your printer this can clog the printer’s ink jets and affect the print
quality of the document. Laser printers should be cleaned when the print quality
deteriorates or when you change the cartridge.
3. Computer memory- one way to measure the computers power is by it’s memory. RAM is
made of small memory chips that form a memory module. These are installed in the RAM slots
on the motherboard of your computer
Adding RAM to a computer generally helps increase performance , speed, and usability. Every
system has a maximum amount of RAM that it can support.
4. Ergonomic keyboards- Allow for a more natural positioning of your arms and hands. These
have a smaller width, which keeps the mouse closer to you. This will reduce the reach and places
the mouse in a more accessible position.
Wireless Keyboard- reduces the clutter of unwanted wires and other cable problems and
improves mobility, If necessary you can move around with a wireless keyboard and not be
bound to a desk.
5. A variety of mouse devices are available, like wireless, optical, and combinations.
Touchpads are another pointing device you can use instead of a mouse. This devices sences
the position of your finger and then moves the pointer accordingly. Most notebook computers
contain touchpads, but these are also available for desktop computers.
6. All computers slow down as you add and delete files, install and uninstall software, and
perform normal activities. To eliminate these problems Microsoft comes with a set of utilities
the perform special functions. You use theses tolls to defragment hard drives, empty recycle
bin, delete temporary files, and remove cookies.
Disk defragmentation- When the computer is new the operating system, like Windows
Vista, writes the file data in a set of side-by-side clusters. As the drive becomes clustered and
space becomes limited, Windows divides the data for newly created files into sectors
Disk Fragmentation occurs when a piece of data is broken up into many pieces that are not
stored close together.
7. Sectors are stored in blocks of nonadjacent clusters, creating
fragmented files.
Seek time is one of the more time-consuming elements in a
computers performance and can slow the speed of the processing
cycle.
8. Recycle bin is a holding area for files and folders before their final
deletion from a storage device.
A cookie is a small text file that a web site uses to identify a specific
computer.
9. Various application programs, such as those in the Microsoft Office
suite, create temporary files. This action is used for the following reasons:
To free memory for other programs
To act as a safety net to prevent data loss
For printing
10. Generally, you can provide routine Maintenance . However you should not
attempt some Maintenance procedures, here is a list of hardware maintenance or
repair that generally should be performed by a computer professional
Replacing the power supply or opening the power supply case
Replacing other electrical components
Replacing the processor
Replacing or adding a hard disk
Replacing or adding additional RAM
