Think about it for a moment. Does it make any sense for a motherboard to have knowledge of time zones? The same motherboard is used all over the world and unless you update the BIOS they would remain static in their knowledge to time zones. I've pointed out where time zone information is kept. Those files are provided by the tzdata package. Here is the start of the "changelog" for that package. * Mon Nov 12 2018 Patsy Griffin Franklin <pfrankli@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2018g-1 - Rebase to tzdata-2018g Includes changes for tzdata-2018f. - Volgograd will change from UTC+03 to UTC+04 on 2018-10-28 at 02:00. - Fiji will end DST on 2019-01-13 instead of the 2019-01-20 as previously predicted. - Most of Chile will end DST on the first Saturday in April at 24:00 and restart DST on the first Saturday in September at 24:00. - Morocco will change from UTC+00/+01 to permanent +01 effective 2018-10-27. * Sat Jul 14 2018 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2018e-2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_29_Mass_Rebuild * Wed May 16 2018 Patsy Franklin <pfrankli@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2018e-1 - Rebase to tzdata-2018e - North Korea changed from UTC+8:30 to UTC+9 on May 5, 2018. - In this update, the upstream project now defaults to using the "vanguard" data implementation which includes negative DST offsets. -- Fedora Users - The place to go to beat OT dead horses :-) :-) _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
