Friend - what did you really do?
me - drank 2 bottles of wine and fell down the stairs.

Woman sues date for 'emotional distress' after he stood her up
A WOMAN tried to sue a man for ’emotional distress’ after he stood her up on a date – and attempted to claim $10,000 in compensation. QaShontae Short’s bizarre claim clearly…

It's so ludicrous. All they care about is money, there's no common sense or moral judgement, it's all overruled by how many bucks they can sue the next person for!

Just found this image on the interwebs…
I cracked a smile, but let’s get nerdy…
2TB = 2 x 10^12 = 2,000,000,000,000 bytes.
2TiB = 2 x 2^40 = 2,199,023,255,552 bytes.
Windows chooses to show TiB and call it TB. Dividing that number of bytes by 1024 into the TB range gets you… 1.81TiB.

Naw.... just naw!! The "i" is made up nonsense to round things off.
In a computer system.... it's on or off.... 0 or 1.... Base 2 or ^2.
Changing it to base 10 through laziness is just the modern approach. There's no justification for it IMO, "i" or no "i", and changing the TB to ^10 just bumped everything below it.
2TB is 2,000,000,000,000 bytes but 2GB is 2,147,483,648 bytes and we've been getting robbed since getting past MB

As I understand it, it’s that the advertised storage amount is essentially decimal whereas the system is showing it in binary. Both numbers reflect the same number of bytes but 1K is 1000 bytes in decimal, and 1024 bytes in binary. Is the math wrong?Just found this image on the interwebs…

I think it's to do with the advertising. It's deliberate, to make you think you're getting more..... a bit like how broadband companies list Mb rather than MB, because more always looks better. MiB didn't exist, there was no such thing. Someone came up with the use of "i" at some point in recent years.
I don't actually know all the ins and outs, but it's something that's bothered me on systems since day dot. HDDs, IME, have always had ^10 for their advertised/labelled space. As I understand it they changed to ^10 with the Terrabyte... as in, it was defined at the very beginning that TB would be considered as ^10 from a memory stand point. Prior to that, all memory definitions were ^2.
Sort of like.... from this day forward....
Imagine 100GB of RAM, eurghhh. Same thing.... just packaged accurately as it's defined by the bus width.
I’ve just found this article which sheds a bit more light on things:
What is tebibyte (TiB)? | Definition from TechTarget
Explore the meaning of tebibyte (TiB), what the measurement is used for and how it compares to a terabyte.

It does and it doesn't...... by that very definition RAM should always be listed as GiB?
This line here:
"The IT and data storage industries often use the binary system's power-of-two nonmetric units."
Is where my spidey sense tingles and I just think they're looking to short change us. If it was the other way round, they would still go the cheaper route IMO.
