My opinion goes like this: all computer systems should track time in GMT and not care in which timelines the humans live. Your admin (or his software) in NY can convert to local time when he needs it. Your backup admin in LA can do the same thing. Why a system at this point in tech history needs to keep local time is beyond my understanding.

- delinka 15y agoI still don't see why an embedded system cares about timezones. It measures ticks. That's all.
