Switch def. 1 and 2 even if right (in the past?)

kilobyte (kB) for 1000 bytes might not be rare anymore? Is it standard in Operating systems now? Many computer hackers want to hang on to KB vs kB, but might be admitting defeat and accepting kB and use KiB (or KB, or Kilobyte with capital K, to distinguish).

Absolutely. The binary definition of 1024 is officially deprecated, and not only should the numbers be switched it should be made clear that the binary definition is obsolete. 2403:5808:1846:1:ED4F:D7A3:A8AD:B408 05:24, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
