As discussed here but, it would have been nevertheless great to have this

nothing
Here's a function that determines whether or not you have an internet
connection. It's almost as reliable as some of the other examples
given - I know this, because I tried it ten times, and it gave the
correct result every time!
So, you discovered a way of testing that is not very thorough.
def has_internet():
return True
Tell me, is it useful to have something that doesn't always give the
right answer, even if it usually does? Is there any value whatsoever
in a lie?
Yes that is useful. Live is full of that kind of situations. We in computerland
are spoiled with the accuracy we can enjoy. It seems even spoiled to the extend
that when offered a solution that is not 100% accurated we consider it a lie.
