megabyte,megabits, i just cant remember loli

Megabyte (MB) =1,000^2 (1000 x 1000)
Mebibyte (MiB) = 1,024^2 (1024 x 1024) - true data

---

EDIT:

All math above is in bytes...so to get the actual bits you would multiply by 8 but you'll never have the need to really do that unless your working on some serious low level code.

bit - 1 (smallest data)
crumb - 2 bits
nibble - 4 bits
byte - 8 bits

I love the terminology here, particularly since nobody gives any fucking reason why these programmers were starved to fucking death

---

I always consider MB a Mebibyte now from programming, same as KB compared to KiB or 1000 bytes compared to 1024.

When you work on storage or allocate your own aligned memory (like working on an HDD)...data has to be aligned properly in most functions and the smallest value for modern storage is generally 512 bytes, although there were some with 128 byte alignment that still have the constant values around...I've never found need to use them.

I don't even acknowledge the existence of the term Megabyte anymore and automatically think in values aligned on 16 byte boundaries--but I hate the fucking name change more than the odd numbers I have to work with, therefore its still a megabyte

_I GUESS IT'S NOT PENIS THIS WEEK?

I think AWA has forgotten to reveal the Secret Game from the Game Vault. It's 10 days till opening and still no info.

 

[WhatNitrous]

Speaking of shit...let me thank Turdmaster for Car Mechanic Sim, I need a simulator because I suck at it

Actually had a newer versions demo in my library...but never bothered because it was a demo. Appreciate it dude

Spoiler: Activation

In hindsight I should have just called this A Game Of Thrones

What do we say to the god of dead opportunities? Not yesterday.

First post under the quest, I can't even find the hint but I found the answer

Really interesting man, but I am remember now how bad it was at high school when I had to convert different units of informations, I loved informatics but when it comes maths applied to it, I don't like it (I hate maths). Same with when I had to code in c++ and somethings went wrong and I couldn't find the error

That'll drive anybody mad...I can't even count how many time I didn't close a bracket or did +1 or -1 somewhere it wasn't needed in thousands of lines of code...but its even worse when its in the C++ header files and someone ELSE does it for you

 

[WhatNitrous]

You probably won't even believe this shit...after getting poisoned, after getting ignored, after ALL of this...while I'm printing pictures for court.

Live Bugs!

AGAIN.

ALREADY.

I won't even mention it, fuckers will probably poison me again and fail to kill the bugs

Thank fuck i'll be at the court in a few days.

 

[WhatNitrous]

maths applied to it,

Here's the simplest way to do this particular math, just remember if a data type has a lowercase i like MiB, GiB, KiB it always uses 1024 in the place of 1,000, for each bigger data type you multiply by 1024 again.

1 MiB is 1024 * 1024 = 1,048,576
1 GiB is 1MiB * 1024 (1,048,576×1024) = 1,073,741,824

1 TiB is 1GiB * 1024 = 1,099,511,627,776

And I'm using the calculator at this point myself

I missed a period as in ".." in an old language and it erased my entire hard drive including the program...but at least it never made it to somebody elses.

Situation is about the same with the bugs here

When I read MiB my mind think about this:

a day in gaming

I received ubisoft code at email and only for today UBI20
Checked their site and its dlc sale month so bye bye

About The Day Before game. its a huge scam but letting this scam going on is a bigger scam, refunded as like all...

MS made couple of errors for tr store didnt mentioned here before because its TR store big chance it will not work for you.
Mistake was for ultimate game pass users dead space 2023 like a dollar and tomb raider 1-3 remastered like 1.2 dollar
I got the tomb raider will let you know If the game revoked later on.

Steam announced TR store has MENA dollar prices. We tested and buy very few games and all prices are same as US dollar store.
basically they count tr people like US residents I guess..

about games (with my broken english)

Turok 3 Shadow of Oblivion Remastered : nicely done about finishing the campaign and lovely. nice and nice well done.

Kingpin Remastered : boy oh boy zillion bugs in it and I finished the game. its fun but you got to save the game like every 2 minutes or so. its fun with pain.

The Walking Dead Destinies : Unfortunately terrible, playable but alll cast doesnt look anything like they are in real. Mechanics are ok but you stab a zombie with knife but knife goes side ways and we suppose to feel like it hit the target which it does not. Weak game for its price. Probably will uninstall.

En Garde! : its over hyped but yes its fun little game refunded this at steam for 1 thing. They say it installs to like 15gb but actual size is 5gb and a very very short game. Dont get me wrong game is fun but short. yes I know we have to support good game creators. Sorry

This Bed We Made : its corny, going really slow but I think I will finish this up soon, it has some bugs, its an adventure game solved most of their puzzles by guessing numbers 3 digits 4 digits what can go wrong. You play the role of a maid at a hotel, cleaning rooms and making beds are interesting. If you dont get bored by it ofc.

Like a Dragon Ishin! : unfortunately time is up for game pass. Game is taking place at feudal japan and you play like a classic samurai, its satisfying but visuals are not at its best. Game is satisfying and fun.

Like a Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name : its in my direct buy list its ishin but with modern age yakuza style and visualls are 2X stunning and so does the game play. This is a must buy adventure, arcade, shootem up, rpg, everything all around etc and you can play classic games like virtua fighter, sonic etc. with in the game.

Dead Space 2023 : meh, yes we finihed the campaign was short and just to play for once nothing so interesting about it, game play and fun factor is balanced but unfortunately this is your average type of a game.

Redfall : I know world hates this game, well we loved it we finished this game in 2 days and we can still go again. Maximum fun for couch co-op. Replayable. Thanks for all negative responds from gamers, because of that I buyed the game for 10 bucks at steam.
