GB and GiB in computer capacity statistics

I saw two articles, "30 types of U disk capacity in Beijing" shrunk "on the black list of Kingston" and "Consumer Association", saying that U disk shrinkage is not common sense: wrong Statistical Methods: The measurement unit GB is not accurate in both articles. Here are some of my views.

First, let's quote a paragraph in Wikipedia.

It is an information measurement unit. It is a type of measurement unit, nowadays, it is usually used to mark the storage capacity of hard disks, memory, and other storage media with a general to large capacity.
Conversion from other storage units

1 GB = 1,000 (103) MB

1 GB = 1,000,000 (106) KB

1 GB = 1,000,000,000 (109) B

However, a Gigabyte can usually be a Gibibyte. The conversion is:

1GiB = 1,024 (210) MiB

1GiB = 1,048,576 (220) KiB

1GiB = 1,073,741,824 (230) B

It can be seen that the nominal name of the hard disk and flash disk vendor is correct. Let's look at the measurement method below Windows.



7,501,639,680 should not be 6.98 GB, but 6.98 GiB. Let's take a look at the measurement method below Linux.



The name in Linux is correct.
It can be seen that the measurement unit under Windows has an error, and the domestic textbooks are also written based on the Windows platform, so it is taken for granted that 1 GB = 1024*1024*1024 B, while ignoring the real measurement unit
