We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

Extreme Unicycle

X-TREME unicycle! Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up. Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies.

Luchadore’s gone wild

Although wrestling may not be entirely real, it is hard to fake the amazing acrobatics of this determined Mexican luchadore. It may be fake, but it is still awesome.

Matrix Ping-Pong

An oldie, but a goodie. The Japanese are weird, and for once it works out in their favor. If you haven’t seen this video, you are in for a treat, and if you have, this one never gets old.

The Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon

There are so many cruel, cruel jokes to make about this kid who went to Blizzard’s annual convention and proceeded to school the game makers on World of Warcraft history. It would be tacky and wrong of me to pick on him. So please feel free to insert your own jokes below in the comments! As a reward for frightening the makers of the game, the now legendary “red shirt kid” is a playable character in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. Unfortunately when he heard the news, the kid exploded in nedgastic joy.

Tyler Kirk is insane

I don’t actually know who Tyler Kirk is, and after watching this video, I have no desire to meet him because he is most likely insane. Enjoy him now before he dies horribly.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
