We return with a new selection of viral videos for the week of September 17. Again, these videos may not have been released this week, but we saw them this week, which is pretty much like they were just released, right? While all of these clips are more or less safe for work, a few do contain some language that your boss might not like, so be warned and wear headphones. Or don’t watch video clips at work. Whatever.

Brooklyn storm is f**king crazy!

Recommended Videos

Dude! Did you totally see that f**king rain! It totally f**king was wet, dude! Yesterday the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. People then proceeded to lose their sh*t.

Goalie saves a penalty kick, then forgets where he is and what he is doing

If athletes typically praise a higher power for help in winning the game, who do you blame when your own stupidity might have just cost you the game? If this Moroccan goalie is in a contract year, he may have to take out a second mortgage to make up the lost cash. Assuming he isn’t traded to the Fiji League.

Gymkhana: Performance driving for reals

Like Nascar’s older, meaner brother that gets all the girls and is invited to all the “cool” parties, Gymkhana is a driving sport that makes video game driving games look totally unrealistic. And he did it in a Ford Fiesta. A. Ford. Fiesta.

Justin Bieber is dumb

This is from back in May, but classics never die. In an interview with a New Zealand program, Bieber claims that he did not know what the word “German” meant. Score one for public school over home schooling. This faux pas came mere days after Bieber toured in Germany, by the way. The pop star later tweeted that he thought the Kiwi host said “Jewman.” If you are a true “Belieber” and don’t want to think badly about that adorable little scamp, then feel free to stop watching before Bieber is shown the word on the card and still claims to not understand.

After posting the Beiber clip, it only seemed fair to include the German response.

SnoopDizzle and LL Cool J take Halo competition to the next level

This week in gaming, a small, indie game from an unknown publisher was released this week. It was called Halo something or other. In the video below, Snoop and LL Cool J go head to head in Halo: Reach’s online matchup. Hilarity ensues.

MIT researchers found a new Spectre attack that can slip past Intel and AMD defenses

Spectre has been haunting CPU security since 2018, and MIT researchers have now found another way to make it misbehave. The new TONTOU attack can bypass some of the defenses Intel and AMD have added over the years by exploiting a tiny gap in how those protections work. The research comes from Daniël Trujillo and Mengjia Yan at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Their findings show that even after a processor wipes or isolates information used by its branch predictor, there can be a brief window before that information is actually used. TONTOU, short for Time-of-Neutralization to Time-of-Use, attacks precisely that gap.

Microsoft accidentally gave Windows 11 users another OneDrive app, and you can’t easily remove it
Microsoft says the wider-than-intended rollout was an accident, but removing the app currently means removing OneDrive too.

Windows 11 users have been getting a new OneDrive app whether they asked for it or not. The problem? Microsoft says it wasn't supposed to happen. Microsoft has confirmed that its OneDrive Photos app was rolled out to Windows 11 PCs more broadly than intended, including enterprise machines where the app isn't even designed to work. The company says it is now working on a fix, but there's an awkward catch: users currently can't uninstall OneDrive Photos without removing the main OneDrive app too.

So, what exactly got installed?

Apple Reminders sucked for project management until I learned this feature
Your checklist deserves better. Here's how to turn Reminders into a proper Kanban board.
Apple reminders on Mac

For the longest time, I used Apple Reminders only for capturing quick tasks. Thanks to its Siri integration, Reminders let me add tasks quickly so nothing would fall through the cracks. However, when it came to managing big projects, I always moved to a more powerful task manager like OmniFocus or Things 3. 

That changed the day I stumbled onto the Column view. Apple added this feature with the iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma updates, and somehow I completely missed it. But once I discovered and got the hang of it, Reminders finally started to feel like a real project management tool instead of a glorified sticky note.
