I don't have a phone, boss wants me to get one, & I'll be setting it to UTC if I end up with one

I've had my own devices set to UTC for the past few years. It made sense for coordinating when my friends are in whichever places of time, especially for online PvP gaming. It worked well when I was working remotely

UTC as a world clock is a happy medium, and works well. You get it in the notifications tray.

yes. it makes reading logs easier.
