    If any company could get away with labelling their product to have 1/10th less and get away with it, they would. Usually consumer rights organisations fight to make it so that you get what is advertised.

    The producers are using semantics to give less. I, as a customer want what I have been promised by the label.

    If you’re interested in arguing the opposite, you’re anti-customer, and pro-ripoff.

        fastfetch output :

        Disk (/): 203.45 GiB / 224.94 GiB (90%) - ext4
        Disk (/media/skullgrid/Data): 684.44 GiB / 913.43 GiB (75%) - fuseblk
        

        I didn’t realise that Linus Torvalds changed his name…

        … unless you think I specifically went out and bought a laptop that advertised a 913.43 GiB secondary drive?

          Now I understand why the 100 IQ guy up there is crying.
          Because even after you see the literal ‘i’ in between, you will still call them the same.

          It’s as if you bought a metric ton of grain just to then complain that is doesn’t match an imperial tonne.
