For further completeness, the time machine is not absolutely necessary.
Most computers do not have an AUTOMATIC sync to real time. In other
words, the internal "clock" of the computer is something you can set to
whatever time/date you want. You typically tell the computer where it is
located during set up (time zone, etc.). If you take the computer with
you on a journey to the other coast, it won't "know" that.

Actually, out of the box both MacOS since around Sierra and Windows
10/11 do indeed set up automatic clock synchronization as well as
location tracking unless the user explicitly disables either or both of
these features. So if you buy a shiny new laptop in New York state and
boot up there, then without changing any settings fly to California and
boot up again, your clock will change to display the correct local time.
