It's fun to see Mastodon mentioned as the source for such novel news.

Sweet! Now that that's done let's make 2024 the year newsmedia will start putting bullshit stories about what a random Lemmy user says!

The evidence seemed pretty damning. Hopefully we'll get more updates to see how this plays out.

I really wanna hear the reason they will give for why they had gps coordinates in the train software…

Purely for logging 3rd party maintenance for their internal market research purposes I'm sure :D

and how hackers being able to change train software is in any way a less-damaging thing to claim!

I mean I’m assuming that they were given physical access to the trains by the owners, but I goes that isn’t clear, so you may be right…
