Timezone not applying (ZimaOS)

I set Settings/General/Timezone to Australia/Brisbane but it didn’t apply (the time was still wrong). In another post, @gelbuilding says to turn time sync on/off but there’s no such thing (now). So I did it manually and that fixed it:

root@ZimaBoard2:/media ➜ # timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2026-05-22 05:33:37 BST
Universal time: Fri 2026-05-22 04:33:37 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2026-05-22 04:33:38
Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)
System clock synchronized: no
NTP service: active
RTC in local TZ: no
root@ZimaBoard2:/media ➜ # timedatectl set-timezone “Australia/Brisbane”
root@ZimaBoard2:/media ➜ # timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2026-05-22 14:34:47 AEST
Universal time: Fri 2026-05-22 04:34:47 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2026-05-22 04:34:48
Time zone: Australia/Brisbane (AEST, +1000)

I just had the same issue and foujnd that the resist fingerprinting in the browser was to blame. It was showing me UTC instead of my local time. Turning it off solved the issue.
