This cleans up code around human readable units: - base-2 (GiB, MiB, KiB) used for file sizes to remove any unit confusion while keeping interop with 1024 mindset - base-10 (Mbps, kbps) used for network bandwith, to match what ISP are selling Closes #1778

This makes sense to me! |

👍 we looked at this for a moment during GUI triage and while nobody felt strongly about this, it makes things more consistent with storage units used in storage systems. |

This cleans up code around human-readable units and Closes #1778:
bytes in base-2 (GiB, MiB, KiB) used for file sizes to remove any unit confusion while keeping interop with 1024 way of thinking
bits in base-10 (Mbps, kbps) used for network bandwith, to match what the number that ISP is selling:
@jessicaschilling @olizilla would appreciate sanity check from your end. What units are expected by people these days? I've heard that macOS switched sizes in Finder to base-10, is that true?
