minus-squareSchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoSo computer illiterate don’t think it’s a smaller number
minus-squarereal_squids@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoprobably a holdover from the sata days, or simply because it’s nice to show the number doubling into tens of thousands
minus-squarepogodem0n@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoBecause those are megabytes, not gigabytes
