24hr time is simply superior in every way. I don't get why more people dont swap it.
I changed mine on a whim years ago and never looked back.
Like the old truth "America does everything the wrong way". 24h is superior, metric is superior, dd.mm.yyyy format is superior, etc...
A4 is superior too.
(Yes US doesn't use A4 paper.)
The superiority of ISO paper sizes isn't obvious at all if you don't know how US paper is different. Seems like different countries just use different sizes. But as anyone accustomed to using A- or B-series papers knows, A4 is made of exactly 2 A5s, and the pattern holds up to A10 and down to A0, whereas the US paper sizes are completely unrelated to each other.
So good!
I believe in ISO 8601 supremacy
(I'm not saying its not better than American one thougn)
I have for years named files that have a chronological component ymd , and if hours are relevant, hm. A few ymdhm.
Makes a lot of sense when ordering directories.
Edit: and the file name after that. Wouldn't be useful without descriptive text.

This is the way.
One of my favourite examples of this is road sign lettering.
Instead of just using the same style as Europe.
They created their own, which caused its own problems.
Then created a replacement, which didn't help.
too lazy to learn.
