Why are so many people convince that 1kB = 1024B ?
When 1kB = 1000B and 1KiB = 1024B

ffs kb kib

    @FitzSuperUser 1 Kibibytes = 2^10 Bytes = 1024

    Stupid conventions for nothing. Just use KB = 1024 exclusively. I don't bother about anything. The only distinction I make is between transfer speedd: MBps vs Mbps

    Never heard of kibi .... Just kbyte and bit....

    Like internet speex is done in bits so 40mbits (5mbytes) so they can make the number be higher .... so people think bytes ...

    Least in the UK

    I blame all HDD manufacturers and their marketing teams. Their history of trying to make things seem better than they are.

    Interesting... I'd use 1Kb for 1000 bits and 1KB for 1024 bytes... but saying "1K" always means bytes. Where are you? Suspect this is a regional thing.

    @Artemix Yeah, I think I maybe misread the OP...
