Mb = Megabit

Kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
Shit is in powers of 2, not 10.

The 1000 byte kilobyte was a forced meme by hard disk manufacturers at the start of the 21st century.

capacity byte
bandwidth bit

No. Kilo is a metric prefix and stands for 10^3. Bytes and bits being the exception to this rule was always stupid.
Could somebody post the picture that summarizes who uses KiB and KB to address 1024 Bytes?

man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/units.7.html
Before these binary prefixes were introduced, it was fairly common to use k=1000 and K=1024, just like b=bit, B=byte. Unfortunately, the M is capital already, and cannot be capitalized to indicate binary- ness.

At first that didn't matter too much, since memory modules and disks came in sizes that were powers of two, so everyone knew that in such contexts "kilobyte" and "megabyte" meant 1024 and 1048576 bytes, respectively. What originally was a sloppy use of the prefixes "kilo" and "mega" started to become regarded as the "real true meaning" when computers were involved. But then disk technology changed, and disk sizes became arbitrary numbers. After a period of uncertainty all disk manufacturers settled on the standard, namely k=1000, M=1000 k, G=1000 M.

The situation was messy: in the 14k4 modems, k=1000; in the 1.44 MB diskettes, M=1024000; and so on. In 1998 the IEC approved the standard that defines the binary prefixes given above, enabling people to be precise and unambiguous.

Thus, today, MB = 1000000 B and MiB = 1048576 B.

storage manufacturers... cpu manufacturers implementing clock rates - khz/mhz.... literally anybody implementing data transfer - the entire telephony industry, baud rate, ethernet, usb, pci, sata, mp3, cd, dvd.....

jedec says 2^10
iso says 10^3

if you use YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MS as a timestamp, feel free to complain about people using iso
if you use anything else, fuck off, jedec is a standard too just like your incorrect date format

>feel free to complain about people using iso
people not using*

It doesn't makes sense to have data sizes be round in decimal rather than in binary. Binary for 1000 is 1111101000, binary for 1024 is 100000000000.

Here you go, mate.

>binary for 1024 is 100000000000.
lol

>JEDEC
jedec.org/about-jedec/member-list

jedec acknowledge 2^10, iso (and jointly iec) say Ki=2^10, si says 10^3

and what do the relevant people say, the manufacturers

Have it occurred to you autists that different number systems have different magnitudes for shorthand prefixes? In decimal that's 3 digits, 10 in binary.

Found an NPC.

MB, KB etc in computing, and computing alone was 1024 by convention until storage media manufacturers realised that treating them as metric prefixes while everyone got used to the computing convention will make them more money. Sometime in the 90s I believe

Mb = milkie boobies

are you some kind of trans-dataist, consumer?
consumer, when you consume, what do you request from who is making your product?

you request it by its given name, you receive what was of its given name
yet you try to redefine it because you don't agree with it? you label it a new name, and scream and shout at the people that don't follow the new name?

are so so easily triggered, consumer?
you are the lowest on the totem pole, "warrior"

If they are God's chosen people, God knows how to choose milkers, congrats to the old guy

128 KB = Megabit

Since Americans are so used to paying for gas in gallons, surely posting prices in liters would make gas companies more money.

Kibibyte

This but unironically.

Megabit = Mbit
Megabyte = Mb

>1Mb/s
>1000kb/s

>MMM
MeMeMyte
>MMm
MeMemit

know the difference newfags

Idiotic naming convention that has caused countless conflicts and other problems. Should be replaced.

It doesn't make sense to have data sizes to be round in their binary representation. Computers don't care if it's 1000 or 1024. Humans care about consistency of their prefixes, though, so KB = 1000 B. It's also much easier to use - how much bytes are in 67 KB? 67000 B.

nygga, no

I thought you said trans-dadaist consumer, and immediately thought

3.5 GHz (amd) = 2.4 GHz (Intel)

Kilo is the prefix for 1 million. Using IS prefixes for powers of 2 was a retarded decision.
Companies taking advantage of dumb Burgers is only natural.
MB = Megabyte = 1000 KB
MiB = Mibibyte = 1024 KiB
Mib = Mibibit = 1024 Kib
Mb = Megabit = 1000 Kb

Yes, you are a wrong idiot indeed.

8 Hobitses = 1 Hobbyte

This happened in Italy when we switched to euros: ~2000£ = 1€, sellers literally used 2000£ = 2€ because "same numbah" and doubled the cost of everything.
