Today I learned that stuff is called Kibibytes, Mebibytes and Gibibytes

I always thought Kibi, Mebi and Gibi were base 10, and Kilo, Mega and Giga were binary, but now that I think about it, it makes sense that its the other way around.

For those having trouble remembering: It's already in the name. Kibibyte --> "Kilo Binary Byte", Mebibyte --> "Mega Binary Byte", etc.

Awesome! Thanks for elaborating. That was what I missed to remember it.
