The reported 119GB vs. 128GB according to spec is because 128GB (1e9 bytes) equals 119GiB (2^30 bytes).

That can't be right because RAM has always been reported in binary units. Only storage and networking use lame decimal units.

Looks like Claude reported it based on this:

  ● Bash(free -h)
    ⎿                 total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
       Mem:           119Gi       7.5Gi       100Gi        17Mi        12Gi       112Gi
       Swap:             0B          0B          0B

That 119Gi is indeed gibibytes, and 119Gi in GB is 128GB.

Ugh, that one gets me every time!
