Looking at how the clock in Windows defaults based on region, it seems to be mostly the Whiter of the former British colonies plus a few South American countries that use 12h (for computing, at least). The rest of the world are all 24h.

Does she refer to it as “hora militar” though?

Am I having a Mandela Effect moment because I have a clear memory of them releasing the source way over a decade ago
