About This Category

Design and engineering teams mix units constantly: CSS pixels against device pixels, decimal against binary byte prefixes, aspect ratios against resolutions. Each conversion here is arithmetic plus the convention behind it.

The byte conversion is the one that causes the most confusion. Drive makers use 1 kB = 1,000 bytes; operating systems historically reported 1,024, which is why a drive sold as 1 TB shows about 931 GB in the file manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a 1 TB drive show 931 GB?

Because 10¹² bytes divided by 1,024³ is about 931. The manufacturer uses decimal prefixes; the operating system counts binary ones and labels them GB.

How do I keep a 16:9 layout on any screen?

Use aspect-ratio: 16 / 9 or padding-bottom: 56.25 %. Both derive from height ÷ width, which is 9 ÷ 16.

Is a CSS pixel a physical pixel?

No. CSS assumes 96 pixels per inch and the browser scales that to the device, which is why 16 px text looks the same on screens with very different densities.
