What's the meaning of Kelvin Byte (KB)?
Temperature * Information?
What is it supposed to mean?
I contacted the IEC, ISO and the NIST and nobody knew what it's supposed to mean. Maybe it's a typo and Microsoft really meant to use
kB (Kilobyte) or
KiB (Kibibyte)?
KB makes no sense at all.

No one gives a fuck about your retarded conventions europoor.
Next please
Look at how mad he is. He had to make a new thread. Holy fuck.
>doesn't know that SI was made by Europeans.
Define 1kg mass will ya mate?

You
The point is amerifats came up with the bullshit idea of making the prefixes used for *Byte SI compliant
t. Butthurt europajeet
No
i didn't know you can get butthurt from laughing at muritards. gotta try it
Linux is also using prefixes correctly.
man 7 units
UNITS(7) Linux Programmer's Manual UNITS(7)
NAME
units - decimal and binary prefixes
DESCRIPTION
Decimal prefixes
The SI system of units uses prefixes that indicate powers of ten.
Decimal prefixes in data are a mistake.
You're free to use binary prefixes.
They're so important, they have their own names.
KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB

Man I hate all that retarded MiB KiB shit that's the fad nowadays. Kilobyte always will be and always has been 1024 bytes. Megabyte always will be and always has been 1024 kilobytes.
wrong
kilo always meant 10^3, mega always meant 10^6 and so on
>kilo always meant 10^3, mega always meant 10^6 and so on
If they always meant powers of 10, why did distinct binary prefixes ever appear?
We always counted in thousands, who's such crazy to count in 1024s?
it always means KiB in any meaningful OS. You gotta thanks JEWDEC for the confusion.
The only decimal kilobyte is written kB. Sadly the confusion still persists in HDD/CD/DVD storage, traditionally expressed in decimal, here both metric and JEWDEC use GB, for the sole purpose to instil confusion scare you with rotational velocidensity.

>when they give more memory for the same prefixes
Not for computer data.
>he fell for the microshit standards
The mass of a cube full of watee which has a side of 1 decimeter.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
now let's hear the definition of pound
>>when they give more memory for the same prefixes
>who's such crazy to count in 1024s
Computers maybe?
hahaha
KB stands for kilobyte, and it refers to exactly 1024 bytes. No more, no less.
Non-autistic way to write "1024 bytes".
Back in the days it was simply called a kilobyte.
But then Mactodlers discovered computers and couldn't grasp that it as 1024 instead of 1000 so they had to change the whole naming scheme to cater to the lowest IQ. - luckily Microsoft stuck with the good old ways.
Hi.
You must have stumbled into the wrong board.
Please leave since you don't even know the first thing about computers or programming.
Sup Forums isn't /prog/ retard, computer technology is only a small subset of technology.
Nice try grandpa.
It's HDD manufacturers to blame that they want to give 10^12 bytes instead of 2^40 bytes by calling 10^12 bytes a (((terabyte))).
