Funny thing I noticed paying my Federal taxes today: They don't seem to understand that Hawaii doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time. The confirmation page showed a time an hour in the future ("04-15-2026 06:41 A.M. Hawaiian Time (UTC -10:00)"), as if we had sprung forward. We didn't.

Even now it's only 6:15 AM.

Weirdest bug yet:

In Adobe Animate 2024, advanced layers cannot have special characters like '/' and '@', so they get replaced with an '_'. E.g: "a/bc" becomes "a_bc".

But for some reason, the string "lt" triggers this check, and it gets renamed to "lt_idn".

I tried several other letter combinations but this is the only one I found that confuses the algorithm. What the heck? 😂
