I've never understood the rationale behind DST.  If companies or schools or
trains want to have summer hours, they can.  Why do we need the government
to tell us to change the clocks twice a year?  Is this so people know when
to change their smoke alarm batteries?

What type of equipment?  It's been a while since I've run into something
that needed a fixed date.  

Does the date do anything other than just the local Log?  If not, then Just
deal with it being off by an hour for a couple weeks.

know, but at least could it be fixed dates like March 1 and Nov 1?  (I
assume this is what happens when we have senators that need to be told that
Facebook is free because it runs ads.)

 

Anyway, what do you guys do with equipment like this?  Just disable DST and
remember there's a 1 hour difference when looking at logs?  Don't even use
local timezone and just use UTC?  Or just live with it being off by an hour
for a few days a year?
