Windows is a shit!
Powers of 10 is cancerous. 1Kb was, is and always shall be 1024 bytes
K is not computer it's universal
Ki is computer
>Windows is a shit!
Windows is built upon layers of shit. It's an antiquated garbage.
Just to make thing worse...
Kb is kilobit.
You meant KB
which is 1000 bytes
1024
KiB = 1000
Still annoying how shit is advertised inconsistently. There should be laws regarding this shit. If I buy a 12oz drink, I don't get a 10oz drink due to rounding the drink being advertised in Chinese ounces or some shit.
this
1 Kb is 128 bytes.
too obvious
125
>use SI prefixes
>get mad when people use them for base 10
Using base 10 prefixes for base 2 measurements is cancerous. Which is exactly why KiB, MiB, etc. exist.
It says on the box "1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes"
>1Kb was, is and always shall be 1024 bytes
only in your confused understanding
That's what I was talking about. It's like:
1 oz = 1.2 Chinese ounces
This is what happens when amehrifarts try into math.

retards
1 kB should indeed be 1000 bytes but did they really need to pick such stupid names for the binary equivalents?
"Powers of ten in storage that uses a base with powers of 2 is completely logical."
It's not the manufacturer's fault that Windows can't properly label units.
1000 bits*
1000/1024 ^3 = 0.931
why change it?
