On the recurring transport beat, this week brings us a handful of wtfs relating to mass transit. Nothing private.

"Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn" sneers Philipp H. bitterly, explaining "The German railroad company sadly is famous for often being late and also has lots of other issues. While booking my next trip I'm asked to pick my seats for the reservation. - Looks like they now stack seats on each other or on the table. - hopefully the seats facing the wall at least have a window there. - winning the jackpot lottery also seems more likely than understanding their seat numbering system."

"Whöøps!" wröte Adrien K. metallically. "Other monitors on that train were fine. It's just this one which refused to display unicode characters correctly."

Ernesto reports a simple typo, included here because it relates to a story I have long found both sobering and inspiring. He relates: "Translated from Italian, this reads "We got to come back a few years. Exactly back to July 19th, 2989 ..." Italian source. The news was about a plane crash with some deaths, not the best argument for joking. But the author's finger slipped a little bit and we're going back to the future. The bright side, the article tells how 185 passengers out of 296 survived thanks to the pilots."

Amazon says its Leo satellite network now has enough spacecraft in orbit to begin limited commercial internet service, with 396 satellites providing "continuous service across initial latitudes." Early performance will likely be uneven, however, and well behind Starlink. "It'll be years before Amazon can boast similar performance numbers as it continues to launch a planned 3,232 Leo satellites," reports The Verge. From the report: SpaceX went live with its "Better than nothing beta" back in 2020 when it had almost 900 satellites operating in low-Earth orbit. It initially served a narrow band of users in the upper US and Canada, who complained about frequent service interruptions and high sensitivity to obstructions, with speeds between 50Mbps and 150Mbps, and latency from 20ms to 40ms. By 2022, the service and coverage areas had already dramatically improved. [...] SpaceX currently has over 10,000 Starlink satellites in operation, providing robust internet connectivity on land, sea, and air in over 160 countries. Performance varies by the dish, service level paid for, time of day, and location of the user, but we're now talking 200Mbps median download speeds, 10Mbps to 40Mbps uploads, and latency hovering around 25ms.
