What we expect: 1024 What we get: 1000 Basically, they reduce what you get by 2.34375% just by using marketing bullshittery.
Oh, I actually forgot to compound the losses caused by repeated conversion... What we expect: 1024^4 What we get: 1000^4 What gets displayed: 1000^4 / 1024^(4-1) Actual value got: (1000/1024)^(4-1) Losses: (100% - actual value got) = ~6.8%, wow! They are stealing 2 out of each ~29 bytes!
