How this system works
Hard-drive makers use SI prefixes (1 GB = 10⁹ bytes). Operating systems historically used binary prefixes (1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes) while still writing “GB”. IEC names — kibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte — exist to end that argument. Fathom keeps both families.
Base unit: bit. Gigabyte is Metric; Gibibyte is IEC binary.
