    With the introduction of the number 2, we goin’ TRINARY!

    Fun fact, the reason internet speeds are measure in Bits, not Bytes, is that 8 bits to a Byte is entirely arbitrary and could be changed if there was will to do so.

      internet speeds are measured in bits so they can artificially inflate numbers.

      cause selling 100mbit sounds a lot meatier than selling 12mbyte.
