What's the meaning of Kelvin Byte (KB)? Temperature * Information?

No one gives a fuck about your retarded conventions europoor.
Next please

The point is amerifats came up with the bullshit idea of making the prefixes used for *Byte SI compliant

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.

>>62280806
Decimal prefixes in data are a mistake.

>>62280987
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.

>>62283190
wrong
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?

>>62280806
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.

Computers maybe?

hahaha

KB stands for kilobyte, and it refers to exactly 1024 bytes. No more, no less.

>>62280806
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.

>>62283328
Hi.

You must have stumbled into the wrong board.
Please leave since you don't even know the first thing about computers or programming.

>>62287401
/g/ isn't /prog/ retard, computer technology is only a small subset of technology.

>>62285532
Nice try grandpa.

>>62286147
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))).
