Some do some don't. The world should be on DST year round.
Daylight saving time by country - Wikipedia
I found that, like so many things, it depends.
According to Wikipedia, New Zealand, some southern Australian states, Paraguay and southern Brazil observe DST. And the Invalid Link Removed of the year.

Standard time all year round!
There's half remembered joke there about a wife who replies "no" when her husband asks her if she always contradicts him. Didn't get the joke quite right but you get the drift.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that yesterday, my wife came back from shopping and the garage door wouldn't open. I returned awhile later and thought the power had gone out...nope. Had to cut through the front screen door to unlock the latch, opened the front door and found a broken spring on the garage door. Four hours later, that was fixed. I could go on but it would make me more grumpy....
So you’re saying, spring is broken this year.
I certainly hope not...I want this winter (and series of bad luck) to end.
the sooner, the quicker.

I keep whistling the theme from Coronation Street!! (Oh the shame!)
Been looking for an audio upgrade for our RV (small space) with a 40" smart TV and a laptop PC. Laptop and TV speakers are all treble and no bass. I have used earphones but prefer not to be disconnected from the outside world. Due to the smaller space, I decided on a cheap 2.1 system from Best Buy. For $30, I got what I paid for...some bass but not much.
After more searching, I found the Logitech Z625 2.1 ($130 with optical port) that boasted a lot of output and the reviews suggested a good EQ app to make it shine. I downloaded Boom 3D for pc (free for 30 days, $14.99 to buy). This combination is fantastic. I set the Boom EQ for max bass and midrange boost. The least volume on the knob is 7 o'clock. I have it set at 8 o'clock and it is bordering on too loud but, the best is yet to come.
I have been researching loss-less audio codecs and decided to give Apple Lossless a try in iTunes. Compared to the same tunes I had in AAC and MPEG, the Apple Lossless files provided clear bass notes and no mud and, this is with old tunes from the '60's! And this is with my old ears with hearing aids.
I am now in the process of redoing all of my CD's to Lossless and enjoying every minute of it.
I know this might be old news but, this old dawg is learning some new tricks...YMMV. Let me know if you have a better solution...

Always nice to rethink your sound system. There are many self powered products that are amazing. Modern studios go this route.
A lossless format is the way to go. When you say, redoing all your CD’s, are you rebuying them or loading them and using Apple to convert them with their iTunes Match service.

I am loading them again and letting apple convert them but, I am also looking at HDtracks and others for new material. By the way, my Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speakers, at home, still work and sound fantastic.
I went through the iTunes Match process last summer. It took some massaging to get everything unprotected and converted. Loading the CD’s is a lot of work. I’m not even close to doing them all at this point.

"smart tv"
in the day these two words in this order are the foundation of a comedy routine.

I don't know what the iTunes Match process is but I will look into it. All I did, so far, was change Preferences, General, Import Settings to Apple Lossless, insert a couple of CD's that had been installed before and, when prompted to replace those already installed, selected "yes". Seems to have worked, so far...
Like in "Get Smart"?
