I need to decide if 1KB means 1,000 bytes or 1,024 bytes in all of my software I was leaning 1,024 but it looks like macOS and Windows both define KB as 1,000 these days I want whatever people are most likely to understand (I do not think most people know what KiB or MiB means)

Even though I know KB is 1000 and KiB is 1024, I like to call 1000 a "metric kilobyte" and 1024 a "freedom kilobyte"
