getTime() uses the local time settings. The time settings can be changed in one of two places:
An alternative is to make your own getTime function which pulls the time from one source, such as a server. If you want to minimize network calls, it might be worthwhile to pull this time once and at the same time make a call to getTime(). Then, at some other time, when it’s needed, issue a getTime() again, subtract the difference and add it to the server time. Note: if time is important, I advise against this, since a user can easily alter their system clock
Otherwise, if your computers are on the same network, you can use a scheduler and a batch process to sync the times – it won’t be perfect, but it’ll be close enough
