1 Gigabyte is 1,000MB
1 Gibibyte is 1,024MB

KB, MB, GB, TB, ect are decimal units which are based on 1,000.
KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, ect are binary units which are based on 1,024.

The wrong units is one of my biggest pet peeves

8bits = 1byte which is why everything is in multiples of 8.

...err, not quite. Powers of two, yes; multiples of eight, no.

Besides there have been nine-bit bytes.

C'Mon guys, we're getting a bit picky

 

[Obelisk]

This is a bigger byte than I can chew.

Enlighten me.

Insufficient capacity to tolerate this...

 

[BobK]

Enlighten me.

The IBM 360/370 series abd the RCA Spectra 70 series (which I worked on a while back) used 9-bit bytes. In the case of the 360 etc seq, however, the ninth bit was a parity bit which arguably may not count.

But back on topic (hopefully not a repost):

Snapped this at a co-worker's mother's house today:

Pretty sure they're supposed to be pears, but they look an awful lot like something else...

 

[TB]

More importantly, why were you at a co-worker's mother's house?

He took our old fridge we were giving away and gave it to her because hers was about shot. The ice feeder screw in it would stick and I showed her how to free it up.

 

[TB]

screw

I showed her how

You asked for that, you know.
