1 kB is 1024 bytes and a byte is 8 bits. That is not metric. It just uses metric prefixes.
1kB = 1000 bytes, 1KiB = 1024 bytes
1kB is 1000B you are using KiB which Windows to this day calls KB -.-
Linux kernel guilty as well. It reports memory in “kb”, but digging through documentation, you will at some point see that they actually mean KiB. The “kb” would be 1000 bits.
