Not true. There's way more than that list. I could immediately think of 2 more from last year: CVE-2025-22224 and CVE-2025-22225


My mouse uses a WebUSB app to configure stuff. I just downloaded all the files that it uses, and now I can use it offline.

> and can be reverse engineered long after its manufacturer has dropped support or gone under

Nothing really stops you from reverse-engineering a WebUSB app either.


The question is if users will consistently have the foresight to archive such web apps, especially if the manufacturer has set up their bots.txt such that The Internet Archive skips it.

Traditional programs are incedentally archived by nature of having to be downloaded. They sit in downloads folders, old backups, thumb drives, etc.


I thought they fixed that spam method a while ago

I haven't seen that ooe lately. I currently get lots of Nortoon Lifelock invoices with hundreds of addresses in the to field.

I always report them with suggestions they teach their AI that invoices sent to large number of addresses are phishing.


we received several this week, so apparently not

Not a thing on stock android

They're running, just not in the foreground.

If you don't want that then you can also disallow it per app.

Up for me.

I would at least keep some of the styling, it usually doesn't take up that much if you strip unused selectors and makes it so much more usable. I'd also remove the inputs and buttons (since you can't use them anyway), like on https://chop.ax/https://abc.net.au

Stuff like images, SVGs are also preserved on some sites: https://chop.ax/https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/nomicon/ind... and https://chop.ax/https://cppreference.com

A lot of the listed sites don't work and just return "Origin returned HTTP 403". Reddit also doesn't work.


Aye I think it's struggling on the VPS I've got it running on. Was working much better on my laptop, so might bump it up to a dedi.


The 403s aren't from your VPS being unable to handle it if that's what you thought, that's from the websites blocking you.

Well, yeah, but that's not really a Hetzner thing. That's just computers in general.

Just monitor them so you can act proactively.


Of course. Just pointing out that even if the hardware might be server grade, doesn’t mean one can assume that the risk of hardware failure is negligibly low. And that one always needs to have offsite backups.


> But when they're invading pedestrian space like that AND ring the bell as if people were supposed to be making way for them

Honestly, I prefer that over those damn electric scooters. Most people who ride them are complete morons. They don't pay attention, ride into traffic, go at high speeds and don't care about anyone except themselves. I’ve even been hit by one.


YES! I get the point of mobility and all that but I wish someone would give a ticket to some of those a-holes. Honestly, town halls have been looking the other way for far too long on this matter.


> right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000

If that's not enough for you then there's another auction too! https://www.govauctions.app/auction/gsa-4-1-QSC-I-26-226-002


It is truly a weird and wonderful world of things you can buy out there. Last year I contemplated buying a 100-tonne crane in New Jersey, which was going for about $5,000. The only issue was that you had to go pick it up yourself...


I saw someone in court getting a lengthy for stealing all the enormous counterweights from cranes and taking them for their scrap metal value. Apparently they are very expensive.


I am looking for a 60 ft+ steel ship if you come across one.


There is a 25ft one currently at $1,550 in Montana, made from steel and comes with its own trailer! - https://www.govauctions.app/auction/gsa-3-1-QSC-I-26-284-021
