TLDs like .google and .microsoft really makes me think about how ridiculously gigantic those companies really are. They’re so big they got their own freaking TLD.

Apple and some other companies own entire /8 blocks of IPv4 addresses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4_address_blocks
Ford owning an /8 block is one of my favorite “internet designers didn’t really plan that far ahead” tidbit. For the unaware, every single company device on Ford’s corporate networks uses a WAN IPv4 address in the 19.x.x.x range. They don’t have LAN addresses at all. Because why not, they own the whole fucking /8 block and have like twelve million spare addresses to play around with.
