minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•10 months agoWhile you are correct, I know no operating system that doesn’t capitalize the K. At the very least not consistently. arrow-up13arrow-down10file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-210 months agoI guess it’s for consistency. M, G and T are all capital and n, p or μ aren’t relevant for bits and bytes.
