    I assume this is meant as a joke, but my pedantic ass can’t let it slide. 0.9766 kilobytes, or 976.6 bytes doesn’t make much sense unless we are assuming a rounding error because that would require a fraction of a bit which is indivisible.

    I’m assuming you were comparing kilobytes (KB) to kibibytes (KiB). A kilobyte is decimal based, so it is 1000 bytes. A kibibyte, which is binary based, is 2^10 bytes, i.e. 1024 bytes. And so a kilobyte is ~0.9766 kibibytes.
