Stupid and not an expert in a specific field are two very different things. Also, it is not lying. It is the exact same facts (same number) presented differently.
Mm and mm are very different. Mg and mg are very different. Mbps and MB/s are very different. People lacking basic education to be able to read units properly have to deal with that themselves.
They are not the exact same. Somebody else already talked a whole thread about the reason as to why.
What I would argue for is every company at least all advertising the same unit, so that when comparing it becomes easier to do so.
A whole thread and still no explanation how taking an accurate number and multiplying it by a constant to get a different representation can magically make it less accurate.
It’s like saying a distance has to be in miles because converting it to km makes it less accurate.
Nah man at this point you are purposefully ignoring the bits that are being sent to your device which are then converted to bytes so that your pixels can communicate the letters that are forming words to you, from which the sentences are apparently too difficult for you to understand.
The sentences are just nonsense. “Stupid” consumers are consumers too. If you are intentionally making the marketing harder to understand for people that don’t pass your arbitrary level of “smart enough to understand and convert”, that is literally anti-consumer. Instead of a number that everyone can underatand on first sight, you keep arguing understanding the marketing should require additional education with no other practical application in most peoples lives. No, if a peraon is a farmer, they should not be required to take a year of computer acience just so they can select an internet package.
Yet somehow these “smart” people must not be asked to convert back from byets to bits. That is too difficult. Only converting from bits to byets is the correct way. I guess being smart only lets you divide by 8, not multiply by 8. Complete nonsense.
