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.
Do you mean abominations? lol.
No, we miss abortions in this neighborhood, brother.
Is there a standardized symbol for Ethernet? The only one on the Wikipedia page for Ethernet is Apple’s.

Is it standardized?
And honestly, it depicts a modern Ethernet network worse than the Apple icon does
Literally ISO

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.
