Daylight saving still causes havoc with software

[SmartKit]

Reference to this please? Would love to know more, as the debate is raging here.

I'll try find it, must've been an article about 6 months ago calling for the end of daylight savings.

When ?

They haven't - the EU Commission is proposing it but it still has to be voted on and by then the UK will have most likely left...

Personally I think its dumb... not sure why all clocks etc have to change, just open/close hour/two earlier/later, its really not complicated... eg, boss memo: remember peeps, that time again, from next week you work 8-4, not 9-5 *gasp* oh the insantiy of it all... far to complicated... some people will just start waking up at 2am, other 10pm etc and going to work at random hours, walking into walls and off cliffs, its far too confusing, we need to change time of everything so people can function

Look at the thread title. Tech savvy sods, like those that frequent these pages, can not even program a piece of software to keep up.

Yeah, that's a lot simpler than just changing your clock when you go to bed... assuming you own the one bit of tech that doesn't do it for you.

Ever been to P.E in the winter?
Leave home in the dark, arrive home in the dark.

Yet, nobody died.

Does not matter where in sa you live, come winter you leave in the dark and get home in the dark...

The idea was that's it's a lot more natural and easier to adjust the clock but it appears it actually messes with the circadian rhythm. I.e. we are naturally supposed to get more daylight in summer and more darkness in winter and that's also how some animals regulate their sex cycles.

Then the UK hasn’t officially abolished it, has it.

It's near enough. No stopping it now.

Nothing is certain at this moment. This has been going on since 2010.
