Pretty much every electronic thing you own that resembles a computer (phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, even your damned TV) uses UTC. Every. Single. One. Translates that time to "local" whenever it needs to.

So when your TV goes from 9:32 to 9:33, is just showing the converted time from UTC each time.

Almost every device on the planet is keeping time in UTC.

Just because you don't see UTC time on your device, doesn't mean that's not what's happening. I had an issue where I needed to get into my computer's bios for something, as soon as the BIOS loaded and showed the time, it was "wrong" because it was in UTC. I'm sure plenty of newer BIOS dialogs are configured to account for timezones now, so yeah. I might be unique in this. It's still there.

Honestly quote irrelevant. It's hidden away. It's not shown to us. It could use literally any frame of reference, like farts since the beginning of times, if it's converted for you, then it's not.

I'm still technically correct. And we all know that's the best kind of correct.
