I think this started happening in the mid-1990s when tape drives had built-in hardware compression to save the host CPU from doing it in software?&lt;p&gt;And of course, the canonical example of HDD vendors using &amp;quot;megabyte == 1000 kilobytes&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;Of course this results in a Nash equilibrium because vendors can&amp;#x27;t risk being honest if everyone else is dishonest&amp;#x2F;misleading because there&amp;#x27;s simply too many ignorant purchasers in the market - which is the exact same problem JC Penny had.&lt;p&gt;At least AT&amp;amp;T is using &amp;quot;5Ge&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;5G&amp;quot; unlike they did with HSPA+ and &amp;quot;4G&amp;quot;, and I&amp;#x27;m okay with that, provided consumers won&amp;#x27;t think that &amp;quot;5Ge&amp;quot; stands for &amp;quot;Enhanced&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;Ersatz&amp;quot;.</text><parent_chain><item><author>TomMckenny</author><text>I like that every single brand of toilet paper now boasts &amp;quot;8=16&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;12=32&amp;quot; etc.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s a strange comfortable flexibility we have developed around truth.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s almost as if &amp;quot;freedom of speech&amp;quot; means you can massage the truth if it increase sales but god forbid you make a drawing of 90 year old cartoon mouse.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>AT&amp;T will put a fake 5G logo on its 4G LTE phones</title><url>https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/at-t-to-begin-upgrading-existing-lte-phones-to-5g-e</url></story>
