The manufacturer is advertising it using decimal measurements but the file system is using binary. The decimal measurements are in base 10 (0 through 9) and the binary measurements are in base 2 (0 and 1).
For example:
Decimal system (kilo, mega, giga, tera): 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
Binary (kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi): 1024 bytes = 1 kibibyte
The total drive size is exactly the same but the kibibyte is slightly larger (24 bytes) and therefore takes less of them to equal the same drive space.
Imagine if you had to build two identical brick houses. One house used small bricks while the other house used much larger bricks. Once the houses were finished, you could compare how many bricks were needed to build each house. Although the house with the smaller bricks technically used more bricks, the houses would be the same size. The larger bricks in the second house simply meant fewer bricks were needed to complete the structure.
@iam_edh The problem with pineapple on pizza is it overtakes the rest of the flavors. I like pineapple and I like pizza, just not together. Like ketchup on a hotdog. The ketchup masks the hot dog or any of the other condiments.
@JayDook I made one comment about manatees and Grok decided to throw this manatee just chillin' in there. ๐ I'm way more involved with Starfield than manatees. And looking at the reverse side of a tablet is how you examine it if anyone is wondering.
@FoxNews The only way that it would ever pass is if the current members of congress were "grandfathered" in and term limits didn't apply to them. Then we'd just have to wait until they age out.
@iam_edh@BestBuy sucks. They can't manage to deliver anything from their website on time. Complete trash. And if you want to cancel your order, good luck!!!
@iam_edh I ditched @Target when they couldn't keep an appointment after making one three times. My time off of work isn't free. Went to a local place and couldn't be happier.
@ExpandOutward@america We're currently spending more money than we are taking in. So, this just means we're spending less money that we don't have. No tax breaks or price drops.
