    I’ve worked in pretty much every CEE country and usually many cities in each of them the last 24 years and really can’t say I ever felt unwelcome, even in places you’d think might be less welcoming like smaller cities in Russia. There are certainly places that are easier to get around but I really can’t say I’ve ever felt truly unsafe or unwelcome even when making questionable decisions. Of course shitty individuals exist anywhere, but I can’t say I’ve run into more here than I have in the states.













  • I currently use fully kiosk on older kindle fire tablets with the show mode docks and love it.

    As a control surface, I’d agree it’s not super useful. Voice is better as an ubiquitous control interface wherever you are or just your mobile.

    But as a dashboard of useful info such as weather, location of family, schedule, and other important events happening in the house, I find it indespesible.

    Having a few well positioned tablets around the house with the important details of the day ensures that that information is just present in my brain without having to go seek it out.

    So just little things like whether it’s a good day to ride my bike to work or whether there is wet laundry in the washer or whether it’s trash day, are all things I automatically know without thinking about it. That is very valuable for me.
