Is it like SI RAM vs US Customary RAM?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Freedom RAM equals approx. 1.6 metric RAMs. Unless your computer is on water, in which case it's 1.857

Is that calibrated against the Universal Prototype Kilobyte in Paris?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

iirc that one is outdated as it's 1024 bytes. They haven't been able to shave off the extra 24 bytes

1 GB is equivalent to 127,549,349,788 boron atoms.
