I'm a software engineer, and would love to have a built-in byte unit. 1 byte = 8 bit

gissehel commented 2 years ago

It's built-in.

Byte : B Bit : bit

Note that you can also add your own units: Ex:

unit DVD=4.7GiB

You can then use DVD as a unit with value 4.7GiB (=4.7102410241024 B) (=4.7102410241024*8 bit) and use all prefixes like kDVD:

Can I close the issue ?

Also, with unit search unit (and unit search prefix for all prefixes) you can display the units currently know by your system:

and see the abreviation used.

Oh, lovely! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. (I was slightly expecting to also be able to type out the name of the unit)
