    Quick quick note at 0:53. The url is read from left to right, but it uses the push pop method. Imagine a stack of cards. The computer reads each character until it hit a '.' or ends. That ends a word and makes a card which is then pushed onto the stack. Once the end is reached, the computer will pop the top card off the stack and then compare that word and repeat until the stack is empty.

      It’s absolutely terrible, like they chose the worst AI generated images on purpose or the person creating them doesn’t know how to prompt a diffusion model.
      Similar to talking to a LLM like ChatGPT, the prompts makes all the difference between a good result and a bad one and if available the negative prompt (some online generators don’t support this) is available, you can tell it what you don’t want which further fine tunes the output.
      In my opinion, the defects were intended.

    Other than that, at least it was a pretty technically sound video for what they covered. Though, they should mention that TLDs and the subdomains also apply to non-web services like NTP for keeping the clock on your computer in sync so you have the right time on it. The web is just one application that people register domains for and TLDs and the domain name service in general is actually separate from the web.
