  i didn’t downvote you, and i went to school before a bunch of things but technology evolves and either we evolve with it or we end up being just straight up wrong in a modern context

    To be consistent they should call bytes bibytes though, and I don't think they do.

    if i'm ever writing technical manuals and docs I'll just be as precise about the actual numbers as I can. (not very likely)
