    Actually code would probably be the easiest thing. Unless it’s very badly programmed computers don’t care about what the actual date is, the care how many seconds have passed.

    The hardest thing to reprogram would be human culture. I suspect there would be massive pushback against the idea.

      I agree, but I think that 80% of the code I’ve seen in my life that isn’t based on OS time would be very broken. Factory automation and the like.

      A fixable problem, but again largely unnecessary one imo

      I hate DST though and think that either summer or winter time permanently would both be better than switching
