That would be kB (kilobyte) and not kb (kilobit) or Kb (kelvinbit).

  What's a "kelvinbit"?
  • Joyfield 10y ago
    Exactly. ;)

    Now I want to see someone derive a nice formula that results in a kelvinbit. Offhand, I'd guess something to do with information entropy in temperature sensitive media. (Entropy rather than density as that would be more along the lines of bits/kelvin I'd assume. Or heat output would be kelvins/bit.)

  Yes, actually to be strict it would be kibibytes, KiB. But in 1980/1981 kibibytes didn't exist, all we had was good ol' fat Kilobytes made out of 1024 bytes, and WE LIKED IT. https://tinyapps.org/blog/misc/200702250700_why_in_my_day.html https://tinyapps.org/blog/misc/200702250700_why_in_my_day.ht...
