My OS is Win7. When I need to open a cmd.exe at current working directory, I will press "shift" key and right click the screen and I will get "Open command window here". Is there any faster way?

So... turns out there's actually a very nice way if you don't mind relying on an extension generating some code for you at compile time. I was using Fody/PropertyChanged anyway, making this a very easy change. This avoids having to a reference to a SynchronizationContext in models that really hav...

If I have a malware infected computer and I connect the computer to the internet using my phone's wifi hotspot (phone using school network) can the malware have its way into the school network I use?

It is my understanding that you should be able to update npm using npm install -g npm, but the command has no effect on the npm be...

For some odd reason, my Roccat Kone XTD gaming mouse likes to disconnect by itself when I plug in, disconnect, or otherwise manipulate other devices that are attached to my computer. That includes such mundane things as touching a cable to a USB port (without even plugging it in) or probing a USB...
