There are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte
zeta.one
A little bit of history, why there is only one correct answer and who is still doing it wrong.

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It’s about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.

    I don’t benefit if you read it.

    You don’t benefit financially, but there are other benefits. For example, you specifically asked for feedback, and you have received some.
