Memory Units
Ok, the story goes that I'm checking my computer stats, and I realize I only have 2GB of RAM. So I'm sitting there, disappointed, when I start wondering what other memory units were. I always thought exabytes were largest but a proved myself wrong with the list below.
Now if only my computer had a 2 Domegemegrottebytes of RAM…

Ok sorry this is a bit too off topic.
Let's try to get back on topic here.
You can't have decimal fractions of a byte, so let's get that clear

They are all powers of 2 and a kilobyte = 1024 bytes, megabyte = 1024 kilobytes and so on and so on.

Not quite. A KiB (kibibyte) = 1024 bytes, MiB (mebibyte) = 1024 KiBOk, the story goes that I'm checking my computer stats, and I realize I only have 2GB of RAM.

So it would have 2 domegemegrobibytes of RAM I guess

And, 64 TB of RAM isn't going to help either. It'll just encourage software devs to use more of it. Now I'm complaining about chrome taking up 2+ GB of my ram, if we have 64 TB then we'll be complaining about 2035SwagBrowser taking up 32 TB of it

But how big do you REALLY need a browser to be? What would take up 32 TB of data? Probably dumb useless stuff, in which case you could probably find a minimalistic browser that doesn't take up more than a few GB.More like 2 decades, assuming it'll still be possible to make memory smaller.
