I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It’s about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

      Indeed. I only commented, because I don’t think such a lengthy post about this is very relevant. It’s not hard. Well at least for non-americans. The Americans seem to be very triggered by my comment. :D

          I’ve honestly just come to the conclusion that being an asshole about the fact that other countries exist is just the continental past time of Europe.

          Like, Americans get the most of it but they’re like this toward people from other European countries too.
