sorry to burst your bubble but if there were two PCs capable of clocking you in, then 99% it wasn't either of them keeping track of the time, but rather a separate server they were connected to
I've worked in IT. You are most likely correct, and anyone with any sense would do it that way, but I would absolutely believe that someone could be incompetent enough to use the computer's time stamp. I also wouldn't be surprised if users had access to change the clock.
You underestimate how shitty most software is written.
I've absolutely used timecard software that used the local device time instead of using a centralized time source.
I wasn't really sure that it would work, but I checked my paycheck and it seemed to be working. This was in 2006 at a country club. So it's not shocking that a) they had a paid some nobodies to give them a bad time keeping software and b) it was designed to not need the internet.
