True. Is it, or might it soon be, reasonable to make that assumption?
e.g., https://roughtime.googlesource.com/roughtime sounds promising, I think.
Machines such as the Raspberry PI and the Beaglebone do not have
clock chips, although it is easy to add an external real time
clock board. They can set their clocks from NTP if they have
internet access, which is more-or-less needed to run a browser,
unless running on private network. I can see scenerios where
they can have a very badly off clock though.
