KB vs KiB, GB vs GiB, …

I think that there are many typing errors in https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/12/04/the-terrible-tib-gib-and-pib-game/. For example, in “KiBs are bigger than KBs, MiBs are much bigger than MiBs, GiBs are very much bigger than GBs, and TBs are exceedingly larger than TiBs”, the second “MiBs” should be “MBs”, “TBs” and “TiBs” should swap positions. “a GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes whereas a GiB is 1,000,000,000 bytes”, “GB” and “GiB” should also swap positions. Right? I want to tell the author, but I cannot find the contact details.Furthermore, I think customer often expect “TiB”, and the vendor mentioned “TB”. For example, John wants to buy a 2T disk, he will expect to see the label on the disk should be 2 Tib, but the vendor tell him it’s 2TB.
