recent Windows insider preview releases added an internet speed test "button" to the Wi-Fi control center that actually just tells you to fucking Google it instead

i cannot take this bloody company seriously these days

Windows 11 preview build screenshot of the Wi-Fi control center. There is a speedometer button labeled "Test internet speed" next to the refresh available networks button, which supposedly by its name would bring the user over to an actual network speed test page.
The actual result after clicking the button is Windows opening a Bing search result page for "internet speed test". The results it produces are bogus, and were clearly generated by a language learning/artificial "intelligence" model.
