Under the User Control Panel | Board Preferences, you may want to change "Summer Time/DST is in effect" to Yes. This is only necessary if your area acknowledges Daylight Savings Time. Apparently it's not automated and I can understand why. It's far too complicated to adjudicate it for everyone around the world.

If my state would implement permanent DST and stop changing, I'd be so happy.

If you want to see a programmer having a melt down talking about time zones and DST, then here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY

omg, I WAS that guy a few years ago. But I didn't get as far as him before I said, NOPE. Screw you guys, I'm going home.

Thank god our company (being global) as settled on GMT and English as the default time and language. So anything that is used globally just has to meet those standards.

Well, except France and French-Canada so they are on their own lol.
