- It looks like the Liberals (Australia's conservative party) have pulled off an upset win against Labor to retain power for the nineteenth consecutive year.* (Sydney Morning Herald)
The Liberals suck and deserved to lose, but Labor are markedly worse, so... Eh.

Tech News
- Sony's next-generation Xperia 1 launches in July at a price of $NOPE. (AnandTech)
Just stop it. Also, no headphone jack.
- AMD got smart, added a cleric to the party, and is now immune to zombies. (Tom's Hardware)
Part of the reason that Intel has had better performance than AMD for the past several years is that they took a whole bunch of unsafe shortcuts, which are now coming back to bite them.
- San Francisco has restricted government use of facial recognition and apparently by regulatory process and not by smearing the cameras with poop. (TechDirt)
This is a good thing. Maybe they did it for the wrong reasons. Don't know, don't care; it's still a good thing.
- Clutter has picked up Omni's storage business. (Tech Crunch)
Just watch out for the yellow snow bunnies. The yellow snow bunnies are not your friend.

Disclaimer: I guess I'm glad that the least worst party won. I just wish we had a less worst party that could have won instead so I could rub it in their faces. In the meantime, I have a busy day ahead, lots of dopey mopey leftists to make fun of.
