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.
