They wouldn't have manually typed the exact URL from the email, they would have just typed in npmjs.com which would ensure they ended up on the real NPM site. Or even if they did type out the exact URL from the email, it would have made them much more likely to notice that it was not the real NPM URL.
I like the way target does it. No scale, no obnoxious cameras, they just have a limited amount of self checkouts and usually have security visibly posted near them.
I have yet to witness somebody not scanning things and stealing them from there, the only “success” I’ve seen is sprinting out a fire door.
Even worse is when a product has a bad barcode and the employee at the self checkout tells you to go across the store and find a different one instead of just fucking doing their job.
I live right by Portland and have visited the three stores that are closing there. Every target in this area is hit hard by theft because there are many unhoused people who need things, or addicted people who need things to sell, and word got out that target wasn’t going to let their security people touch anybody.
The three stores closing here are some of the hardest to drive to, so it’s no surprise to me that the average payment size would be smaller and result in way slimmer margins there.
This is also following all Walmarts in town closing, likely for theft as well, Nikes employee store downtown closing due to theft and employee unsafety, and countless local businesses packing up shop and moving to other areas or shutting their doors.
It’s a shame but it’s so common in the area that the news didn’t surprise me in the slightest.
The version on classic.Minecraft.net was deemed written from scratch to vaguely replicate classic last I heard. There were physics quirks, block textures, and entire blocks that weren’t ever in any version of classic, but were in that release.
I don’t think the provided webclient uses webasm, it’s just transpiled to js. It can be transpiled to webasm but there’s no benefit right now (and worse performance iirc)
The author of the client just likes writing it. The owner of the website just likes running it too. Both have decent day jobs that cover the costs easily, so that’s nice.
I know the website owner has actually talked mojang’s legal team down from trying to take classicube down- the lack of modern Minecraft features essentially differentiates it from their product, assumedly it makes it much harder to sue for.
It actually already almost fully works on all of those but the Xbox! Several players play on the Wii, GameCube, and 3ds. Most servers don’t work (due to ram and processing limitations) but they’re totally functional and mostly-stable.
Fwiw re: lack of survival- mojang has tried (and backed off) to take down cc under the assumption it had crafting/survival. The lack of survival aspects is the only reason it’s still around.
That, and classic v .30 doesn’t have any survival features
