Re:Kilobyte is precisely 1000 bytes by cestith on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @09:42AM (#46886389)
I usually just say kilobyte when speaking, and say “binary kilobyte” or “decimal kilobyte” if it’s not clear from context. I still (usually, but I forget) use the IEC symbols when I mean binary and the SI symbols when I mean decimal. The extra ‘i’ doesn’t cost that much.
