Article note: Interesting, looks like the core MIPS IP is being folded into the non-profit that handles the core RISC-V IP (...because it's basically worthless at this point) which will at least assure people building legacy MIPS stuff a firmer footing during the (now, at least) managed slide into obsolescence and irrelevance, and clearly indicating a path forward onto RISC-V.

People who are fully vaccinated can safely have private visits with unvaccinated people who have a low risk for severe COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today in highly anticipated guidance for vaccinated people.

In the guidance, the CDC considers people fully vaccinated once they have waited two weeks after their second dose of either the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine or the Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Though it may still be possible for fully vaccinated people to contract the pandemic coronavirus, have an asymptomatic or mild infection, and possibly spread the virus, the risk is considered low.

As such, once people are fully vaccinated, they can meet in private indoor settings—such as a home—with other fully vaccinated people without masks and without physical distancing.

Article note: This one has slowly crept from "yet another Exchange vuln" to "major international incident" over the course of a few months. Now we're talking about 60,000 organizations compromised including things like bank regulators, with both data infiltration and dropping other payloads for later, the bulk of it by _probably_ a Chinese government affiliated entity. Hurray for mono-culture on complicated proprietary packages!
