I feel like the blame has shifted over to the companies that still use the binary standard nowadays. The SI standard has been around for over 25 years now and yet they still use it. As a gen Zer myself, pretty much all the people I know that still use the binary standard are doing it because they saw it being used in their file software (Microsoft file explorer.)

Also not trying to put the blame off of the SI standard itself here. If the SI standard said that a KiB is 1000 bytes and a KB is 1024 bytes, then there would be no need to argue about whether to use the binary or SI standard when referring to KB.

I’m tired of people thinking that a gigabyte is 1024 megabytes because Microsoft says that in file explorer. A gigabyte is 1000 megabytes and a gibibyte is 1024 mebibytes.

Then why did you reply?
