The glaring abuse of units must be intervened with.
Please use correct units from now on. I'm tired of people claiming to have 16 gram barns of RAM.
>gb
"gram barn", doesn't make any sense.
>kb
kilobit or kilo barn. Ambiguous. Better write "kilobit".
>KB
Kelvin Byte, doesn't make any sense.
>kB
Kilobyte = 1000 Byt
>KiB
Kibibyte = 1024 Byte

Which of these is correct?
A) 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes
B) 1 MB = 1,024,000 bytes
C) 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes
D) All of the above.

>>56450467
Obviously B friendo
>>
>>56450467
D)
Anything measurement past a byte is ambiguous.
C) should be the correct one though imo

>>56450976
>>56451012
Correct answer is D because all of the definitions have been used almost interchangeably for decades, even today
IMO the most correct and reasonable is A though. SI prefixes for life, I'm a human - not a robot. I also measure everything in bits instead of bytes.
(For example, the 4chan file upload size limit is 24 Mb = Megabits)

OP will always be measured in bundle of sticks.
When in doubt, rounding up works.
