Acs shows incorrect time in log:

It is possible that acs uses the time set in BIOS, but I can't verify my guess because I use a thinkpad and a modified 1vyrain BIOS, in which date/time settings are not available:

Missing Date & Time in BIOS

This is a side effect of the Advanced Menu needing to go somewhere. You’re not blind. The Date & Time tab is gone. If you really need it, flash a fresh BIOS. You probably don’t though. Setting this in the OS propagates it to the BIOS, in both Windows and (all?) flavors of Linux.

Thanks for finding this!

No problem!

It seems that my guess was correct. I checked acs on a device where it is possible to set date/time in BIOS.

The time matches the one set in BIOS 82bd614f_20241015_133955837_5a65
