he's so autistic that he made a post on /g/ about it and got quads

nice quads

Mebibytes vs megabytes
1 MB = 1000 KB
1 MiB = 1024 KiB
1 Megabit = ???
What is MB even used for?
>>53685846
Describing data transfer rates.
>>53685732
I think you mean megabits? OP didn't use megabytes anywhere.
>>53685888
and you can't use MiB for that?
>>53685555
>>53685732
>He uses autistic sounding acronyms.
What a waste of quads.
>>53685936
We could. The industry however choose to use bits/second for data transfer rates, so we're kinda stuck for that.
Sounds cooler.
10/100/1000M ethernet
330M wifi
3G SATA
etc
>>53685555
Why would I use Mebibits to describe network data transfer rates?
>>53685555
>being autists
no one uses mib meme, and no one will use it either >>>/trash/
>>53685846
MB is and has always been (2^10)^2 B.
Just because some HDD manufacturing Jews at one point realized that pretending not to know this well established convention is a great way to get away with false advertisement and make more shekels, doesn't the convention ceased to apply and there's a need to use some autistic-sounding "binary prefixes".
>>53685732
I thought you meant men in black
>>53686009
Because that is what its used for?
Mega/Mebi/bit is for transfer rates
Mega/Mebi/Byte is used for storage capacity
I've never heard anyone say Mebibit above Megabit for describing network data transfer rates, but whatever, right?
>>53686101
>fucking windows
no shit you don't use MiB, windows is stuck in the past.
>>53685555
WHAT'S THAT STAND FOR

no, you are a neckbearded fat fuck with inferiority complexes
>>53686451
Describing this as what they are vs what the industry thinks they are.
Idk anon, i prefer to say what i mean rather than expect people to know just because,
>OMFG you don't know storage device manufactures are lying to you?!?
>>53686326
MS uses the same standards it has always used.
Again, if base 10 is better, why even bother using MiB?
Why does Loonix use base 2 units instead of base 10 units?
Mac uses base 10 units, but then when describing ram capacity they use the same standard MS uses.
>>53686553
everyone understands by 1MB = 1024KB already
adding an i between just because, makes no sense, also the pronunciation is laughable
>>53686599
Google Chrome says 1024 Kb = 1 MB
4chan does too as many other websites and programs.
>>53686619
That's wrong.
Why are they all too stupid to use SI-Prefixes correctly?

Since when did people start calling it Men in Black
>>53686619
1024 Kb == 128 KB
>>53686647
Bits and bytes are not SI units.
>>53686727
>Are you stupid?
I said "prefix" do you know what a fucking prefix is?
1Kilo = 1000
1Kibi = 1024
>>53686727
>Bits and bytes are not SI units.
And this is relevant how? That does not change the meaning of the SI prefixes.
>>53686754
>>53686780
1 kilo = 10^2 in the context of any SI unit.
1 kilo - 2^10 in the context of bits or bytes.
BTW, unlike with kilobits and kilobytes, the kilo abbreviation for SI units is *always* lowercase.
>>53686843
I meant 10^3, obviously.
There are people right ITT who still dont know the difference between MB and Mb
>>53686909
Nigga, i said what i meant.

I just use M and let the rest be inferred by context.

>>53686109
The prefix mega has always meant 10^6, shit dick
