How does this comply with COPPA? Amazon was fined $25mm for failing to comply. Is the setting available, but obfuscated under "a child profile"?

Yes and these are not new problems.
I encountered showstopper limitations backgrounding processes that make use of iBeacons, back in iOS 7.
The potential for data collection is massive.
I was tinkering with a firechat inspired mesh messaging concept as an indie iOS dev. I could not dismiss arguments about potential privacy concerns w/ persistent background apps advertising and scanning - but the lack thereof certainly dampens innovators too.
Although I did not speak openly of "TI" I did experience this phenomenon. Following obsessive dieting and exercising, then into a batch of seizures, I somewhat rapidly fell into the TI abyss. I consider myself today to remain a "voices hearer", although it's gotten much better over time and I am mindful to get more sleep than I need, as that's been the most curative for me.
That episode came on in 2012, and it has felt like it took > 10 years to fully recover. It certainly wasn't helpful and to the contrary extremely reinforcing when the whole snowden story broke.
This is a dreadful pit to fall into.
Pretend with me for one moment: You are single, you're looking for love in all the wrong places, mostly on OKCupid. An employee working within the NSA has stumbled upon your information in realtime in a PRISM data slurp, and has taken a personal interest - maybe they think you are weird, and they are not above abuse of their powers - and that they want to exert their "godlike" powers to toy with you - surveil you, pwn your computer, screw with your mind, etc. Keep pretending this is remotely close to reality! What recourse would you have? Would a FOIA request ever validate your claims? Where do you even begin to try to reconcile with this, as a firmly held belief?
.... My voices are illusory, they require a prompt. It can be water running, it is horribly triggered in large crowds. I still have panic attacks in Ikea (but who doesn't?)
.... I got better. It took 10 years of my life to get it back, mostly. It takes a lot out of me to even begin to try to share any of this.
I hope this post helps someone. You too can get through it.

It's not the size. They have (had?) one well known product but the fanbois expect everyone to know how the company is called, what US state it's registered in and the CEOs shoe size...

Funny, in this case I know of your company name but have no idea if your products have names and what they are.
famous for linux desktops with wood-grain paneling, if memory serves! (and it maybe doesn't!)

meanwhile, some overworked analyst is freaking out deciphering event logs where a single users idling tab is refreshing into a dead link or a dead session.

In my latest blog post, I highlight the value of kindness over intelligence in the workplace. I talk about how being kind—through listening, respecting others, showing empathy, and focusing on solutions—can significantly enhance team dynamics and productivity. While being smart is important, I believe that kindness leaves a lasting impact and creates a more positive and effective work environment.
how is focusing on solutions a kind act?

That would be fun. How do you imagine the “ring”? A huge part of the appeal is that both sides can see each other.
Not the op, but I could imagine a series of portals in a circle formation at each site; maybe like 12 or 13 simulcast connections would be insane.
It wouldn’t be so appalling if the clothes were made from sustainable, biodegradable materials.
I appreciate that the article calls out the trash as being like an oil slick, which is a sticking point I think we all can be upset about, and use our agency to demand change.
Don’t buy plastic to wear. Tell manufacturers (brands) they are grotesque for using plastics in clothing.
