GB "legally set" to 2^30? No.

edit

I just removed this overwrought claim from the lede. The two court cases cited ended with the defendants settling with the plaintiffs, but did not in any way result in any "legal definition" of the gigabyte. A similar lawsuit against amazon.com over the capacity of an MP3 player went the other way, and drive makers (and SSD makers, and flash memory e.g. USB "stick", SD card, etc., makers) continue to market their products using the SI prefix G in its SI-defined meaning.

Anonymous editor has reinstated the claim. I agree with Jeh that it should go. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 15:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Clarify or correct "Jiggabyte" Merriam-Webster pronunciation

edit

I believe this pronunciation is wrong or outdated as I have not been able to verify that pronunciation in official sources. Gwompwomp (talk) 07:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Massive cleanup/decimation needed

edit

Is it absolutely necessary for kilobyte, kibibyte, megabyte, mibibyte, gigabyte, gibibyte, etc. to all have their own individual wikipedia pages that all say the exact same thing? Can't we put the information on one page, and have all those terms redirect to that one page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.70.13.107 (talk) 10:33, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia has no problem with duplication and redundancy not least because it is not paper. As long as each article is properly sourced and notable, there's no reason to replace them all with one "mega sized" article. QuiteUnusual (talk) 11:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Agree with changing existing KB, MB and GB articles to re-direct to byte.Stevebroshar (talk) 12:04, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
 – Byte is a more plausible potential destination for resulting redirects than Gigabyte is. —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 14:03, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
