  • Hungarian kitchen? Wtf does this mean?

    I grew up in a 2nd generation Hungarian American family and we cooked tons of cheap, and amazing foods. Goulash, paprikash, and pierogis are all “pesant/farmer” foods and are cheap as all hell, not to mention they boast amazing flavors. Additionally you can explore regional and family variantions on the recipes and never run out fresh experiences.

    Paprika is amazing, use it, love it, live it.


  • As somebody that’s been working on computer hardware since the early-to-mid 90s, installing the drivers before connecting the printer was the norm. It was actually the norm for most peripherals. Just be glad you didn’t have to do manual irq assignment. Hell, that is probabaly the issue, is that the driver installer borked the irq assignment when the device already had a handshake agreement with the hardware.

    I digress though, this shouldn’t have been the pattern for a modern printer in 2007, when PnP had been standard for several years at that point.


  • Easiest way would be to use RFID tags. Many products have them hidden in their packaging already, and for those that don’t you can use a reusable RFID sticker

    Image recognition would be somewhat possible, but honestly, a far more intensive process and over engineered.

    All that said, this is overkill for the average home. Even me, with ADHD and forgetting what I have if I can’t see it, thinks this is a bad solution for me. I’d rather just keep my fridge at no more than 60% capacity so I can easily manage my fridge by always seeing the contents when I open it.

    I love to go into these situations and soon as there’s an opening, greet everybody with, “Howdy, howdy!” in a big and friendly tone.

    It is a great ice breaker. And I’m glad my grandmother taught me this when she recognized how shy/awkward I am.

    Hope it’s as useful to you as it is to me.
