Toot

lessons learnt so far:

this has actually 100% worked to convince my brain it is in fact GMT+1. which is already causing confusion talking to people

if you put your apple watch on but forget to unlock it your alarm will instead of going off quietly tapping your wrist will go off on your phone. luckily my wife was cute sleepy not grumpy sleepy this morning

apple maps uses local time not device time for its “arrive by” time and train timetables

unmitigated disaster, 10/10, embrace the chaos

@apaleslimghost

Local time for transport makes sense, since all the time tables are printed on walls and stops.

Android phones, when roaming, will show you your home Timezone and the local one on the lock screen, maybe you can get an esim from somewhere in you desired Timezone to trick you phone into doing that?
