    I don’t remember which is the stupid “1024 bytes in a kilobyte” one but
    745,450,666,761,889 byte is 745 terabytes, that should be 745 TB and that 678 should be what TiB is for
    And also that entire 677.98 is a useless value, there’s nothing that is “677” about this

      It is if you just truncate! No one should do this, as I don’t recall the last time I saw such a textbook example of “rounding error” meaning “we fucked up while rounding.”
