Do some searching for 'acurite' here please. This has been coming up a lot for trixie - see https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/VijmdjWVzZg/m/nj_otr20BAAJ for some pointers but there have been multiple long threads since trixie came out.
Usually the issue is that the user weewx runs as (weewx if you are using a dpkg installation) is not in a group permitted to access the hardware, but acurite seems to have issues with some kernels or libusb versions perhaps.
