    It turns out, with a full disk encryption setup in place, which I had no control over when implemented by the installer three odd years back, as the sizes of the different partitions and such were set automatically, I ended up running out of /boot space after roughly 3.5 years of use, with the typical Ubuntu family cadence of kernel updates.

    Engrave Condition: Apples Political Censorship Leaves Taiwan, Remains in Hong Kong

    Six months after our August 2021 study of how Apple filters its engraving services, we reanalyze the filtering system across six different world regions.

    Since our initial report, we find that Apple has eliminated their Chinese political censorship in Taiwan. However, Apple continues to perform broad, keyword-based political censorship outside of mainland China in Hong Kong, despite human rights groups recommendations for American companies to resist blocking content.

    As other tech companies do not perform similar levels of political censorship in Hong Kong, we assess possible motivations Apple may have for performing it, including appeasement of the Chinese government.
