God I fucking hope that "1/5" isn't 1 out of 5 fucking mandatory updates, each like 110.86GiB.

Remember when long games could fit on a few MBs of a SNES cart?

Probably CoD. They like making their games big so you're reluctant to delete them

This, it is a very good (for a video game) simulation of the entire goddamn Earth.

Nevermind, I am actually the idiot. Never heard of this unit.

As you probably found, it's the one Windows is actually reporting all the time when you look at file sizes and drive storage, except it lies and says GB. Which makes it funny that Microsoft is the one who is using GiB here for once. MacOS and hard drive manufacturers will actually report in GB. This is why you can look at a blank 1 TB hard drive in Windows and it will say 931 GB or 0.931 TB available (because it's actually 931 GiB and Windows shows the wrong units).

The terminology around this has been imprecise for decades because small powers of 1000 are pretty close to powers of 1024, so everyone just called 1024 bytes a kilobyte and then 1048576 bytes a megabyte in some contexts while it was 1000 and 1000000 in others, but once you get up to 1000^3 (vs 1024^3) or higher the difference starts to matter a lot more.
