this isn't a matter of opinion. it's pronounced GIG A BYTE, not "jegabyte", "gegabyte" or whatever. giga's not the only prefix used when it comes to measurements in bytes. it's also used for other measurements when dealing with extremely large quantities. you don't pronounce it "jegahurtz" or "jegaflops" do you? dear god i hope not because you'd sound completely ridiculous if you did.

Phonetics are a tad different.

Anyway, if you look here you will see it can be pronounced either way. (If you change the "e'"s to "i'"s of course...) In fact, it states the "jig-" way first.

I pronounce it gig-a-byte

:rofl:

My physics professor always fussed about how everyone pronounced, and even gave an entire lecture on GHz and GB. He said the correct pronunaction (I can't spell) is Giggahertz and Giggabyte. Like "getting jiggy with it"

So Jiggahertz?

:laugh:

I've never heard anyone say anything but Gigabyte.

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
