> your T2 equipped Macbook will wait for a DNS response and then use said DNS response to synchronize time via NTP before letting the user use the keyboard.

Holy shit, this is why my macbook sometimes won't let me log in for like 15 seconds on my shitty cellular hotspot connection? Absurd. Apple software has fallen so far from just 10 years ago.

Great... Well, that explains the crappy response on some bad connections.

I really wish Apple executives were forced to use their computers on crap wifi. Who am I kidding, I would imagine Tim Cook hasn't used a Mac in years.
