I bought an 800w GaN USB-C charger from AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009093660588.html) and a handful of USB-C to barrel jack adapters. They're powering 2 EliteDesk G2s (35W) and 2 EliteDesk G3s (65W); not had any trouble so far though the GaN charger does run a bit hot (which I resolved by putting a fan under the charger).

Admittedly I can't be sure of the long-term reliability of the GaN charger, but its been running problem-free for over a year now.

Something that might be useful to know with these devices is that they're quite liable to bricking during updates.

If you do install an update, make sure you reopen its' web portal and confirm the version number is different to what it was before. If it hasn't changed from before, you'll have to wait a while as its still flushing bytes to its flash memory, and if you accidentally trigger an update again here, you'll be left with a brick (speaking from experience).

Depending on the device you bought, you might also be able to flash custom firmware on it: https://github.com/ludwig-v/wireless-carplay-dongle-reverse-...

Dioxus is similar to modern React Native in architecture. Your rust code is running natively and you can call into JNI and Objective-C freely without a VM in your way.

Given the similarity, would it be feasible to add a compatibility layer to bring in React Native Turbo Modules? (Fabric support would be unlikely I'd imagine)

I don't believe people have used buttons in their cars specifically to control their phones, though.

I do agree that it would be nice to know whether voice control is safer, but unfortunately I can't find any studies that compare voice vs tactile control (all I can find is studies on touch vs tactile)

Not GP, but I recently attempted to migrate a single-node Docker Compose setup to Docker Swarm and ran into the following issues:

- No ability to use secrets as environment variables, and no plans to change this

- Cannot use `network_mode` to specify a service to use for network connections a la Docker Compose

There were a few other minor issues which resulted in ditching Docker Swarm completely and moving to a Nomad + Consul stack instead.

I remember reading (perhaps here on HN) that Apple does weird/nonstandard things to wifi packets to enable Continuity/Handoff features, so it could be related.

We use both the 1Password CLI and 1Password Connect.

The CLI tool is handy for retrieving secrets from your vaults in the CLI, handy for one-off uses like scripts etc.

The Connect server is more suited for infrastructure secrets and allows you to whitelist which vaults are available through it. You can then use secrets exposed from Connect as part of your Docker image build process on CI, for example.

Any chance of seeing Rekt on Apple Music? Would love to be able to use it as a radio station when I'm driving

The cost per team member seems particularly egregious; I can't think of any other PaaS that does this OTOH
