Obligatory jew mention

>os takes up 2.6 gb

And the issue is?

> using metric gigs

wew

this desu

...

I think that metric data measurements is a trick designed to get away with selling less for more. Literally nobody actually uses it, except for people who sell storage devices

Who exactly is being tricked?
Kilo has referred 10^3 since the year of the lord 1795. All sciences use this standard. Why should information science be allowed to be a special snowflake?
IEC, ISO, NIST and SI all standardized Kilo = 10^3.
If you mean base 2, then use the designated unit: KiB, MiB, ...

>Who exactly is being tricked?

people that thought they can place one thousand 1GB files on the drive

They can place 1000 1 GB files on the drive.
Giga = 10^9, as it is the standard in physics, chemistry, astronomy and any other actual scientific field.

one byte is not 10 bits though

yes sheep, accept the broken product, accept it to be broken more and more

People who don't know about GiB vs GB and use an operating system which uses GiB
So, most people

1 TB is 1000 GB
1Tb is 1024 Gb

stop being dumb

1TB is different than 1000GB. It's still more memory. Otherwise they'd just call it 1000GB retard.

1TB is 1000GB. 1TiB is 1024GiB, which is probably what you're thinking of.

>forcing metric everything this hard
Pretty sure this is just b8, m80s

Well, the posts are gone now.

1 Megatit is 1 millions tits
