No offense, but I think this tooltip will result in some head scratching... :)

I'm not sure I understand this setting correctly, but if I'm on the
right track, something like this may be easier to grasp:

"This setting should match the configuration of the
hardware clock (BIOS/UEFI), so Haiku correctly adjusts
the displayed time with regard to the set time zone."

At least that's how I parsed it: "Match your BIOS setting".
