In what context? I think there have been some ARG/puzzle stuff that had binary, but almost everything users interact with is decimal. Probably more things in hexadecimal than binary if you start digging.

For storage units like how much space something takes on your computer.

[Joke]

The storage manager uses the same units as Windows, so binary sizes.

1 kB = 2^10 B
1 MB = 2^20 B
1 GB = 2^30 B
...

I don't know how Mac's handles it.

In most computing applications binary is what's used when talking about bytes.

The only time I've seen decimal units used consistently is specifically in HDDs/SSDs where they use decimal units to define the size of the drive on the box in advertisements, which is why larger drivers GB's or tens of GB's off once formatted.
