I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.
This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It’s about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.
Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.
I don’t think I have seen anything advertised with bits other than network speed.
Though some mistakenly use “b” to mean bytes where the correct symbol is “B”
GB, TB, PB are in millions of-, thousands of millions of-, and millions of millions of- bytes respectively
If you buy ram though, you’ll buy a package that says 32GB but it will not have 32 million bytes.
