The Federal Trade Commission is sending more than $5.6 million in refunds to consumers as part of a settlement with Amazon-owned Ring, which was charged with failing to protect private video footage from outside access. In a 2023 complaint, the FTC accused the doorbell camera and home security provider of allowing its employees and contractors to access customers’ private videos. Ring allegedly used such footage to train algorithms without consent, among other purposes. Ring was also charged with failing to implement key security protections, which enabled hackers to take control of customers’ accounts, cameras and videos. This led to “egregious violations of users’ privacy,” the FTC noted. The resulting settlement required Ring to delete content that was found to be unlawfully obtained, establish stronger security protections and pay a hefty fine. The FTC says that it’s now using much of that money to refund eligible Ring customers. According to a Tuesday notice, the FTC is sending 117,044 PayPal payments to impacted consumers who had certain types of Ring devices — including indoor cameras — during the timeframes that the regulators allege unauthorized access took place. Eligible customers will need to redeem these payments within 30 days, according to the FTC — which added that consumers can contact this case’s refund administrator, Rust Consulting, or visit the FTC’s FAQ page on refunds for more information about the process.

the costume and hair/makeup department on wot was so special because they took so much effort to create costumes that accentuated each actor's body type and they incorporated so many cultural elements into each look.. but of course amazon decided to keep the lord of the rings show where everyone wears the color grey

I love this chin touch. He’s been asking her to look at him with words, but this gesture, gently lifting her chin, is his way of reaching out, as if saying: 'I want you to really see me… and let me see you.'

This touch, however, is not truly pure and romantic, but has possessive undertones. Sauron is clearly dominant here, he is trying to assert control after their tense silence when showing their image in the sea. It also comes off as 'You know you’re already mine'.

And Galadriel confirms it with the words, 'My King.' In that moment, she acknowledges his power—not merely as the Dark Lord, but as her king. Not the king, not our king—my king. She, who commands with unwavering will, is, if only for a heartbeat, on the verge of yielding.

This is a kind of submission to his will that he expects from her when he offers the blood binding.

And he gets furious when she rejects him because possessiveness is all about wanting control. And here he knows he is losing control over her.

He sees a threat to that control when Galadriel makes an independent choice. It creates frustration and anger as a defense mechanism.

So in my opinion, if Galadriel had accepted Sauron’s offer, the relationship that followed would have been deeply imbalanced. In a dynamic marked by possessiveness and control, it’s clear that Sauron would have sought to limit Galadriel’s independence, no matter what he promised. While he might have offered her power, it would only be within boundaries he defined, to give the illusion of equality, not the reality of it. Beneath the surface, Sauron would have remained in control by manipulating her choices and keeping her bended to his will. Galadriel would always be a shadow of her true self, powerful, yet never truly free.

I love this ship and perhaps Haladriel would work well if Halbrand (Mairon) would revert to his default settings. But relationship with Sauron have been doomed from the beginning, even though there are undeniable 'spark' and feelings.

Apologies if I'm repeating something that's already been said. This has just been on my mind for quite some time.
