I’m not saying it’s Russian hacker

Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 22:25 collapse

That wouldn’t explain all the other years of incompetence. I think they just suck at doing train things

Jessicat@lemmy.world on 23 Jun 23:04 collapse

Dunno that was my first thought too. Not saying definitely, just that it sounds like the kind of disruptive actions they like to take.

Then they succesfully integrated an agent into the IT of DB and pushed a faulty update of the communication network that was so bad it also took the redundant backup system down.

But yeah, me three had that thought first.

Thanks for the info.

Business as usual then for Deutsche Bahn.

Didnt the train used to be very reliable?

Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr on 24 Jun 03:22 next collapse

I don’t know if you mean “used to” as in years before, but recently every time i saw people talking about Deutsche Bahn it was to say “lol Deutsche Bahn is having a problem again”, so it seems to me their reputation is not (anymore) the reputation of a reliable service.

Hahahahahahaha

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca on 24 Jun 16:32 collapse

Oh. Uh, I see. But Germany has a rep for being very detail-focused, and trains are probably the most organized infrastructure out there.

Too bad.

ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de on 24 Jun 16:44 collapse

A Germans favorite conversation topic is how late the train was again. There is certainly worse in other countries but exactly because Germany is supposed to be so punctual it’s an embarrassment.

UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 00:57 next collapse

It has ended.

Jessicat@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 03:01 collapse

Was there any information as to what happened?

amorpheus@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 04:41 collapse

Right in the linked article…

A technical malfunction in the train radio system is currently bringing all train service in Germany to a standstill.

Jessicat@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 12:54 collapse

Yes, I was hoping for more information than radio glitch…

philipsdirk@discuss.tchncs.de on 24 Jun 13:20 collapse

ARD (German national news) reported a software update gone wrong

Jessicat@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 14:00 collapse

Many thanks.

CyroSignal@lemmy.world on 24 Jun 13:38 collapse

Is it because of the heatwave ?

arrow74@lemmy.zip on 24 Jun 13:45 collapse

Nope communications failure, it was resolved before this morning thankfully
