- shakna 6y agoWhich timezone is my local timezone? A bunch of geolocation systems think I'm in Paris. I'm in Melbourne. (My ISP bought an IP block that used to be registered to a French company). That's a considerable difference.
- noemit 6y agoI'm in spain and my geolocation is also always wrong.
- kzrdude 6y agoIt's not geolocation - just a javascript function to ask the browser what the UTC offset of your local time is. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1091372/getting-the-clients-timezone-offset-in-javascript https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1091372/getting-the-clie...
- shakna 6y agoWhich JavaScript function? The two main ones return two differing results for my browser. Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone > "Australia/Melbourne" Which is UTC +11. new Date().getTimezoneOffset() > -710 Which is roughly UTC +11.8. If you're going to shoebox me into a particular timezone - tell me what it is, and let me change it.
- hnick 6y agoIt should still say the assumed TZ as others note. Many people use VPNs and geo-ip lookup is not infallible anyway. Edit: Apparently it's browser settings, which means you need scripting enabled for this page.
