This happens whenever you’re talking about any topic that the AI model provider has decided arbitrarily they don’t want to do.

I got temporarily banned off deep-seek the other day because I was curious about how well generation technology has gotten for self-hosting. So I asked it about setting up Comfy UI because I had never used it before. Woke up the next morning to a your account has been suspended because we have deemed you broke terms of service. In order to appeal you need a Chinese phone number, it made me chuckle.

Considering the only two questions I asked it was about comfy UI or how to make a recipe similar to the now discontinued flaming hot cheetos Mountain Dew(I missed the production window sadly!)

I’m leaning towards the comfy UI being the reason.

edit: wrong software name

zabbix with ntfy for short term alerts and a telegram bot for long-term alerts.

No its not us based, I’ve never had a self check here that has that issue. They lock down for if they think you are stealing (I’ve never had repeated scans trigger that its usually if you try to hide a barcode or something) or age restrict but other than that as long as it isn’t an operator issue its pretty streamlined.

man age checks on energy drinks must suck, we don’t habe that here or I likely would dislike doing self check a little as well.

I would still do it because its defo faster but it might cause me to at least potentially think about it

I never quite made it to the drones part, but I remember the machines that could harvest resources for you.

Oh man, I haven’t played the second one, but the first one I felt was pretty grindy. Are you saying that it’s even more grindier in the second one? That’s disappointing I ultimately stopped once I unlocked the research area in the first one because the game became too much of a grind.

edit: I typod. I’m comparing the first to the second, saying the first was pretty grindy.

Yeah, I do agree your jurisdiction may vary.

In the US at least, you can’t change a terms of purchase via a terms of service.

So if it was stated at point of purchase that your system will be getting 10 years of updates, and then they decided six years in, you know what? We’re actually only going to do six years of updates, and then posted a terms of service that changed how long they were able to update it. That wouldn’t be legally binding.

In this case, though it doesn’t sound like they’re changing existing buyer’s agreements, it sounds like they are changing the purchase agreement for new consumers who haven’t purchased the product. which is far more legally enforceable as no agreement has been done in that case.

Still a shitty thing for them to do though, considering that they had promised that Chromebooks would have 10 years of updates but I don’t think they’re in violation of anything since it sounds like it’s only going to new consumers.

you are correct, if they sold them with a paper saying there will be 10 years of updates they are required to provide 10 years of updates. If not then they could be taken to court for either fraud or false advertising. Which they would likely not show up to cause that’s usually their go to.

The only benefit I could think of isn’t going to be in the areas that they want to deploy this service.

Like, I could see this being advantageous in lower populated areas that don’t really have DoorDash drivers.

But yeah, if you’re in a populated area, I don’t really get why I would want this over. Just having a traditional driver that arrives.

I guess if the system told me that it was going to be delivered by drone, so therefore I knew not to tip ahead of time? idk

yea 11m changes is quite a bit at once but, I wouldn’t expect a constant change like that. After all, the monorepo itself is a little over 3m lines, 1.37m of it being lang/locale files for every language for its front end, 600k of it is comments, and 1.5m is the rest of it.

For perspective, the watch division makes between $35 to $40 billion annually.

This commit was the refactor commit from the private dev flow to the open source repo. The process basically added a lot of files and deleted a bunch as well. it was long overdue but I wouldn’t expect constant 11m line code changes

That would make sense, although I think it’s unlikely that it embeds itself into the mods. It would probably replace itself. Since in order to embed itself into the mod, it would have to know how the mod is made/structured but I guess it would be possible if it was able to completely replace the existing mods with the worm.

edit: Yeah, a post-work summary was posted today, and it basically did exactly that, it replaces all workshop mods created by the user with a copy of the worm, which then spreads. Honestly, I feel like this is also a vulnerability on Steam’s behalf as well because I don’t see any realistic use case of why it shouldn’t require either a 2FA or some form of validation before pushing an update to the game, especially one that changes the entire mod out for something else.

This one happened to be allowing C-sharp integration, which is how the original infection happened, because that allowed for compilation at runtime. However, this vulnerability could technically happen with any Steam Workshop-enabled game. It’s really concerning that there’s no check system in place. The Steam depot should not allow you to be able to do a full mod replacement using a session or with token.

I’m glad you added from 2025 there because otherwise it would have been super deceptive.

I definitely thought it happened again, and I was gonna be like, well that was fast. Like we all know it’s going to happen again, but that would have been extremely fast.

Yeah, that’s how I took it, but the developer acted like every system that was on the workshop was infected. They never listed a mod that caused the issue and instead just issued a blanket statement of this is what happened. It’s very weird.

I was originally going to add that usually different services can use the same name as long as there’s no overlap, but you can’t even use that on this one because they’re both blogging platforms.

Yeah, unless they have authorization from the original project this is likely going to require a name change.

I don’t own this game or project or whatever it is, but I’m confused. How does a mod getting hacked on a workshop make it so every player that’s on the workshop has a virus?

yea a few months ago

Most do now, When I swapped from namecheap to porkbun they id checked me. It was surprising

Wasn’t Shopify one of the first companies to go all in on an AI infrastructure? I seemed to recall reading that about a year or two ago.
