I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace. (midwest.social)

24h time makes way more sense, especially when working with servers late at night. Hate 12 hour time's annoying AM/PM issues, particularly when typing the time into server refreshes or dealing with 11pm - 12pm (am) slip ups.

I don't think I've ever seen a server in a corporate environment running on anything other than 24-hour UTC time. That sounds like a nightmare.
