This is more of a UX issue than a technical issue, but I find the circular toggle buttons not very clear how they communicate their status.
For example in the screenshot below.
USB Ethernet is clearly disabled because of the cross out line (all clear),
Airplane mode, no idea, it's gray, but no line,
Ethernet, opaque. My laptop has no Ethernet port, why is this even here?
In the following screenshot, from our recent blog post:
I see 4 states?
Airplane mode, gray, but still clickable
USB Ethernet, opaque, no clickable
Ethernet, Enabled, clickable
Nord US/Nord Australia, A whole different kind of disabled?
Let's at least make Airplane mode not being enabled (thus disabled) clearer, ideally aligned with ethernet's disabled look?
I have no idea what the red crosses are about, please clarify.
Why even show these opaque, things, that maybe we don't know the status off, that are maybe not available? It's adds another possible state in the mix. Is it really important enough to show in the indicator?

Why do the Wi-Fi with a totally different UI?
