“Nobody” uses memory marketed as GiB maybe. But it IS sized in GiB. And why are you distinguishing between units here in this context anyway? What does “use” even mean here? Are you talking what people actually say, or physically use? Because they physically use all of these terms everyday.

People may not say the correct terms in everyday speech, but even today, regular, non computer people kinda think any word ending in some version of “byte” is more like a magic spell used to invoke the meaning they’re intending.

People only use any of the “iB” words/abbreviations for conversations between computer enthusiasts. In general, they’re still just now learning the difference between a bye and gigabyte. They know some sound bigger than others, but that’s about all they know typically.

I’m not even sure when these words started tbh. I knew the difference between what they meant in different contexts, but I had literally never heard of any of the iBs until about 4 years ago or so, even being a nerd who used the one term in different contexts. It was such a relief to come across a word that meant what I was trying to say.

Either way, using the "ibi"s (there’s gotta be a catchier word for the collective term in not thinking of) is anything but outdated. Being correct will never be outdated.

I have no idea wtf you’re trying to say here. “M(ki)B”?

“Nobody actually uses” the actual correct terms?

“Those words” - you didn’t even clarify which words you’re talking about.

I wanted to do this, but my app somehow didn’t have this image and it was too much effort to track down the reference image.

I was just trying to meme on the mention of the previous one. I didn’t actually expect a response lol.

Oop I counted wrong. The 3rd one is still on the post. Right before you specify your model number.

I missspelled. LKML. I edited my post.

You edited one LKMS. But… What about 2nd LKMS?

People will really sit on ENT for having the doing and still do this.

Personally, I’m pretty baffled by it, but the song does fit the show, IMO.

I’m still trying to figure out why anybody uses ANY software of Chinese origin.

But all it needs to be is “fun” I guess. People literally don’t think past that. Then they all do the surprised Pikachu face when something bad happens.

I’ve always hated TikTok, and avoided it like the plague. I’m not convinced it’s a whole psyop or anything, but my trust of it is basically negative.

As for government meddling, I’m not sure yet how I feel about it in this case.
