Comment on Why is 1 GB equal to 10^9 bytes instead of 2^30?parent

Just regulate thatas false advertisement. Because that is what it is.

If ram manufacturers do not want to advertise in gib but on gb, use thecorrect number. 0.987 or whatever gb instead of 1gb.

I can't sell liquor in 750ml bottles and advertise as 1L "just because i like rounding L instead of mL"
