In a series of social media posts over the last week, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has strongly suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will end the semiannual clock changes.
While I hate changing clocks like most people… I don’t see how this is efficient. Think about how many devices already assume the clocks will change. It will cost billions to make the switch.
Most devices I’ve used that are not connected to the internet require the time manually changed for DLS. Devices connected to the internet will likely just change automatically. Not that deep.
I live in a small territory in northern Canada, and we ditched DST a while ago now and my phone and every computer I’ve used has support for our miniscule population’s decision to ditch that garbage.
