MicroSD Size mismatch with Image
#13
Hi Marcus,  I am well aware of the fact that all the SD card suppliers do it, and the reasoning of the binary vs. decimal.  That has bothered me for years, was not mad at you for it.  And I wouldn't expect you or any other developers to adopt it, as it doesn't make sense to do so.  In another thread, I even mentioned the math that at the absolute maximum, any SD card is only going to have about 93% of the advertised storage ((1000/1024)^3).  My SanDisks were actually closer to about 90% though (although they checked out as not fake or faulty).

Up until now, I was under the impression that the images for Android were put together by the Pine team, but it sounds like that is not actually the case.  I thought it was something that TL did have control of, so that he could adjust the images before they were posted to the website, but I guess not.  I was actually surprised he hadn't fixed it, but if it is not something he can control, that makes more sense.  This is the first time in all these threads on the topic that that information has been provided though.  If the Pine team is not in control of the images, who is?  Is someone from Allwinner doing the images?  As I thought these builds were specific to the Pine, I thought it would be easy to request this change.
