>"8TB" hard drive
>actually 7.27TB
>oh but its 8 trillion byes! 8TB!
>with drives larger than 10TB you can actually lose entire terabytes
how is this not considered false advertising?
if you pulled this bullshit with anything else you'd be sued immediately.
>inb4 kibibyte isnt kilobyte
a made up nonsense word doesn't change the fact that its false advertising.

if you want me to treat kibibyte as a real word, it shouldnt sound like the deranged muttering of a braindead retard.

When I buy a drive I'm buying 8TB not 8TiB.
How can you be this retarded and cry about a non issue ?
You paid for 8TB and got 8TB.
No one cares if you actually wanted 8TiB.

IEC niggerbytes aren't real words, no.
But being a human, you should be able to understand context - "your mom likes watching BBC" has multiple meanings depending on such.
If you can't, you have a mind that works more like a prey animal than a man, and I recommend rope.

kilobyte used to refer to 1024 (2^10) bytes until fairly recently and now you have a bunch of onions redditors going "actually that's a kibibyte because so and so said so 10 years ago"
I will never use 'kibibyte,' 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte and that's that. These are computers, using 1000 is retarded.
