    Yeah, macOS, like most UNIX/BSD and Linux systems (even NT systems), use BSD‘s rather ancient TCP/IP stack. And, like most systems, have found their own unique ways around whatever bugs once existed (or still exist) in that stack.

    This case uses iMessage as an example, and it would be kind of foolish not to think that between the TCP/IP stack and macOS‘s internal messaging system there isn’t some kind of time reset handler before it gets handed off to iMessage.
