📎 AI Summary:
The thread’s main topic is how Windows “Internet Time” can report different times on multiple PCs on the same LAN even when all machines are configured to sync with time.windows.com, with discrepancies sometimes reaching tens of seconds. The key question is why the results differ despite apparent synchronization settings, and whether Microsoft’s behavior is reliable enough for truly “synchronized” LAN-wide timing. Overall sentiment is frustrated and skeptical, with the original poster questioning Microsoft’s sincerity and accuracy for time synchronization.
