More than these exceptions, gadgets nowadays like to be IoT's and use internet time servers. The blast radius on things made since 2007 is likely smaller than you think.
- mlyle 5y agoUsing internet time servers is largely the problem, because then you need to take UTC and make it into a useful local zone.
- pishpash 5y agoInteresting, you're right. However does that not present a backdoor by setting up a local time server to proxy changes? It's a hack but ... a solution.
- jedberg 5y agoIt depends on what it asks for. If it asks for “current time in PDT” or “current time in PST” it just returns the same answer. If it asks for UTC and does the conversion locally, then we’re back to the original problem of being able to update the switchover date which changes all the time and should be updateable.
