    The system time on computers is typically off by a couple seconds.

    I can understand how the server could measure the latency by pinging the computer, but that doesn’t involve keystrokes at all.

      Yeah it could just be an incorrect description of how the program actually works. Or they’re just making shit up to obfuscate how they actually did it.

      You check the latency if the remote machine from the machine being remoted into, you dont need to corroborate that witha server. Im not an expert but it sounds plausible, even though remoting into the work machine is still a bigger flag to me
