According to Windows Central, following either link will take you to Bing's internet speed test. Which probably isn't anyone ‘s favorite, but it's just a re-skinned version of Ookla's venerable Speedtest.net, and it's plenty functional if all you need is a quick look at the connection between you and a nearby server.
Microsoft hasn't officially announced the feature as something in the 25H2 update, despite it being live in the latest Windows Insider builds, so who knows when or if it'll actually show up. That said, it's a very small change and it's handy, so I don't see any reason that it wouldn't pop up fairly soon.

Apple may see further fallout over its failure to comply with a court order that led to last week's contempt ruling. A class action suit filed on behalf of developers claims that Apple's actions cost Pure Sweat Basketball (and other developers) revenue during the period it was found to have violated the original court order. "Had Apple complied with the injunction, as required, Pure Sweat would have been able to sell subscriptions to its app directly to its customers," the law firm, Hagens Berman, alleges.

As sites continued to crack down on non-consenual deepfake porn, Mr. Deepfakes became an open space for it. Users could upload videos and connect with creators to commission videos. People also used it as a way to collaborate on new techniques, share their methods and provide datasets. All of it was with the goal of creating this non-consensual media, sometimes with a strong likeness to real people.
The creator of Mr. Deepfakes is still technically anonymous. However, German newspaper Der Spiegel reportedly tracked down one of the individuals behind it, a 36-year-old in Toronto.
Governments across the world have been taking steps to make sexually explicit deepfakes illegal. Last week, the
