Have you bought any electronic with storage at all in the past 10 years? Not even hard drives come with the advertised storage -- they've had to repurpose what 'GB' means (base-10 instead of base-2).

That's not false advertising. The drives are measured in SI bytes, which is a decimal system.

    Yes. Hard drives do in fact come with the advertised storage. Manufacturers rate hard drives in using SI prefixes. Operating systems measure hard drives in binary bytes. It's not false advertising if the measurement system is valid.
