Let the scrollbar jump around like crazy. That's what most other infinite-scroll websites do. It's a nice indicator of how long you've been scrolling for.

Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Xylometazoline and sleep. Or go to a doctor and get told to get the same stuff, with some prescription-only cough syrup. The rest of the pharmacy is for old people looking for miracle cures to being old.

Can't they just... ask the user? If a simple yes/no prompt is good enough for porn, I guess it's good enough for a scooter too.

There's also a backend. Back in 2007 a web app was mostly backend code that would send you HTML to display, and at worst it would have some AJAX for a chatbox/autoreload.

If I remember correctly, you needed to replace the accessibility executable with cmd.exe for that to work. Can't do that if the machine is encrypted. And if it's unencrypted there are better ways to reset the passwords.
