The text and link I provided mention it as well, but I am now not sure, if giving 15.10 as a date was maybe confusing for non europeans (or non germans, I am a bit lost who uses what date format)...

It was confusing to me. Took me a while to realize it was a date and then had to deduce what it represented.

Frankly before your comment I wasn't going to complain because I saw the tantrum you threw when people corrected you on the usage of "bricked" but maybe next time spell the month to avoid ambiguity.

2023-10-15 would be pretty universal.

ISO 8601 works for everyone.

It avoids confusing the Americans who otherwise put the month in the wrong place.

It avoids being ambiguous for everyone who may otherwise be worried that it was written by an American with the month in the wrong place, when the day is less than 13.

2023-10-09 is the 9th of October and it's clear to everyone regardless.

It also has the benefit of sorting chronologically if sorted "by name" when used in a filename as it's largest unit on the left, smallest on the right.
