About Mebibytes
A mebibyte (MiB) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Windows/older macOS report sizes in MiB but label them 'MB'. Linux malloc and kernel pages are power-of-2 aligned. Docker images: Alpine base 5 MiB; Ubuntu 72 MiB. Linux kernel bzImage 8-12 MiB. NVIDIA RTX 4090: 24 GiB GDDR6X in 2-GiB binary chunks. 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes = 1,024 KiB.
About Kilobits
A kilobit (kbit) = 1,000 bits (SI). Standard unit for connection speeds: dial-up 9.6-56 kbit/s; ISDN 64-128 kbit/s; early ADSL 256 kbit/s. VoIP codecs: G.711 = 64 kbit/s; Opus (WhatsApp, Discord) = 6-510 kbit/s adaptive. Bluetooth LE up to 1,000 kbit/s; Zigbee/Z-Wave 20-250 kbit/s. 'kbit/s' = strictly decimal 1,000 bits/s (ITU/IEEE). 1 kbit = 1,000 bits = 125 bytes.
