You can host through Microsoft, using a service called Minecraft Realms, but the license agreement also entitles you to host your own server using whatever infrastructure you like, with certain restrictions on content and monetization (most notably, you aren’t supposed to include things like gambling and lootboxes using real-world money or MTX currency that can be purchased with real money).
I’m all for piracy, but hosting your own Minecraft server isn’t even piracy, it’s explicitly allowed!

This seems to be a smoking gun:
Researchers say the most convincing evidence came from measuring how the cell expanded during charging.
When a battery charges, ions move into the anode, causing it to expand. Graphite anodes have a unique expansion pattern because of changes in graphite’s layered structure. The Donut Lab cell showed this exact pattern.
This finding matters because sodium ions are too big to fit into graphite the way lithium ions do. According to investigators, the graphite expansion pattern clearly shows that lithium is the active ion in the battery.

I suspect the claimed “99.98% accuracy” is counting out of all faces scanned, which is a bullshit way to make the tech look good. Most faces are not marked as shoplifters in the database. A system that literally does nothing would probably still have greater than 99% accuracy.
What we really want to know is what percentage of reported matches are accurate, and I bet it isn’t anywhere near 99%.
Every video that I ever saw with a like:dislike ratio like the one in frame 2 was being brigaded for reasons unrelated to video quality.
