Title:
incorrect abbreviations of GB, MB, KB in UI (extra 'i')
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The UI has GiB, MiB, KiB as abbreviations for what I presume are GB, MB, and KB.
That makes no more sense than using Kim (instead of km) for kilometer.
I assume that you are correctly using B for byte, even in network bandwidth.
(If you mean bit, then it should be b and not B.)
MB - megabyte
Mb - megabit
etc.
