Windows is a shit!

Powers of 10 is cancerous. 1Kb was, is and always shall be 1024 bytes

Windows is built upon layers of shit. It's an antiquated garbage.

>>61531127
Just to make thing worse...
Kb is kilobit.
You meant KB

>>61533457
which is 1000 bytes

>>61533469
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.

1 Kb is 128 bytes.

7KB, 225x225px

too obvious

>>61533817
125

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"

>>61531127
>1Kb was, is and always shall be 1024 bytes
only in your confused understanding

>>61534422
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

>>61534485
1 kB should indeed be 1000 bytes but did they really need to pick such stupid names for the binary equivalents?

>>61530475
"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.

>>61531127
1000 bits*

>>61534422
1000/1024 ^3 = 0.931

>>61534963
why change it?
