  It’s an Ethernet port. For some reason Apple decided <···> is the glyph to use for that.

    I hate their refusal to use standardized symbols

      They’ve used that exact same symbol since they first added an Ethernet port to their computers in the early 1990’s. What are you even bitching about.

      They’ve used the same symbol since before we standardized on the RJ45 connector, or 10baseT. Back when ethernet was the wild west.

      God I miss these abortions. The OG dongles.

      Back when men were men, and ethernet cables were an inch thick and needed heavy equipment to use.

      Is there a standardized symbol for Ethernet? The only one on the Wikipedia page for Ethernet is Apple’s.

  Html doesn’t use any port, that’s HTTP

    I only program in HTTPS

    It’s a joke, note the conflation of port (physical connector) and port (one of 65536 virtual pathways for applications). Also, HTTP(S) (port 80 or 443 by default) is literally “Hypertext Transfer Protocol” so it’s fair to say it was designed to carry HTML.
