Do I even want to know what the difference between these two timezones is?

Central European Time (Europe/Amsterdam)
Central European Time (Europe/Berlin)

#tzdata #timezone #timezones #WTF

@yuriiname це могло бути у зв'язку з технічними оновленнями які були в 2021 році у базі IANA tzdata:
Назви зон: Europe/Kiev було замінено на Europe/Kyiv, щоб відповідати міжнародній нормі написання.

Це потребує інколи зміни в коді.
Мені тоді теж довелось змінити часовий пояс, так як не працював один з робочих сайтів.

#tzdata

Edit: false alarm. We suddenly paid attention to the analog clocks and they were all wrong.

Hey, Fedi, wasn't #Europe supposed to change the time next weekend? All my digital clocks chaged, but analog stayed the same (of course). A bug in #TZData

This "deprecation" was never visible at any level, there's no discovery path for anyone that found or otherwise used these and stuck with it.

But none of that matters: The most recent Debian 12 installer still unavoidably selects US/Pacific for people living there, today.

If you're running Debian 12 and Postgres, you're in or around the Americas, and you're planning on upgrading to Debian 13, you might hit a fun little snag [..]

🌘 TZDB 資料用於非指定工廠設定
➤ 解碼 tzdata 中的「Factory」時區:一個靈活的預設選項
https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb-2025a/factory
本文說明瞭 tzdata 資料庫中用於處理非指定工廠時區的特殊設定。文章解釋了 "Factory" 時區的歷史演變,從最初的長描述改為 "-00" 縮寫,以及它與 "Etc/Unknown" 時區的區別。重點在於 "Factory" 是一個有效的時區,允許系統分配,而 "Etc/Unknown" 則是一個無效的時區。此外,"Factory" 時區可以被下游廠商修改為適合其產品的預設時區,這點是 "Etc/Unknown" 無法做到的。
+ 原來 tzdata 中還有這種「預設」的設定,對於系統整合商來說確實很方便。
+ 「Factory」和「Etc/Unknown」的區別很有意思,一個有效一個無效,這對理解時區處理邏輯很重要。

Timezone definition update for smartwatches rolls out

Recently, the timezone definition for smartwatches running Wear OS based on Android has been updated to support the latest changes made to some of the timezones. According to the IANA timezone database that Android uses, your smartwatch gets the latest timezone information from such database that uses the official timezone definitions according to your country’s government.

Some countries have ceased using summer time, and some others still use the summer time. The database reflects all the changes to the timezones according to each city in each country.

Now, people have started getting the timezone definition update through a small notification saying that their watch has been updated to use the latest timezone definitions and to reboot it to finalize the update. This was the notification:

In order to update the timezone definitions, restart your watch using the Restart now button found in the notification. If you have dismissed the notification, the next time you restart your watch, the timezone definition update will be installed. The update will be installed instantly and in no time, unlike major software updates, such as the upcoming One UI 7 Watch (or is it One UI 6.5 Watch?).
