My app plays videos. At first I used SwiftUI’s VideoPlayer, but that didn't give me enough control over the underlying AVPlayerView, so I created my own NSViewRepresentable. That works well, and I can adjust the AVPlayerView as I see fit. But it seems to have a contextual menu that still appears instead of the one I try to apply using SwiftUI. If I put a non-opaque color over the AVPlayerView in a ZStack, I'm able to then add a .contextMenu that works, but only if the color is non-opaque (e.g. Color(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, opacity: 0.00001)). This feels like a pretty hacky solution, and doesn’t work if I set opacity: to 0. Is there a better way to keep AVPlayerView from handling events? It also gets scroll events (which scrubs through the movie) that I'd like to suppress.

Six months ago I wrote FB14122473, detailing how the built-in CDC (or FTDI) VCP serial port driver is limited to 3 Mbps or less. Thing is, there are some FTDI devices that can do 12 Mbps (maybe more), and I have devices I need to communicate with at 4 Mbps. I had to use the FTDI SDK to be able to communicate with these. I was hoping this post might help draw attention to that bug report.

I have a view that lets the user position and size a bunch of subviews. I use .frame() and .position() to accomplish this. Right now, if the user resizes the window, the views stay where they are, anchored to the top-left corner. What I'd like is for the views to scale as a whole with window, maintaining their relative position, and their aspect ratios. I can apply .scaleEffect(_:anchor:) to the containing view, and it scales them the way I want, but I'm not sure how to tie it to the window. My first thought is to use a GeometryReader, but I don't really know what the "original" size would have been in order to compute a scale factor. How else might I accomplish this?
