Well Internet, you’ve done it again. The Red Bull sponsored video below features Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns freerunning and crafting incredible optical illusions in the process.
“Life as a freerunner means the whole world is your playground,” the video description reads, “or is it just one big illusion?

For some people, it doesn’t get any more annoying than Windows Update, which always seems to begin downloading huge files that slow down your computer every time you need to do something important. On the flip side of the coin, however, the Windows Update mechanism often updates your machine with critical security fixes that are needed in order to ensure your private data is safe. Well, if you have Windows 10 your private data might not be safe anyway, but that’s an entirely different story.
Microsoft on Wednesday pushed out a major security update that fixes a critical security vulnerability in Internet Explorer, so all versions of Windows are affected, not just Windows 10 and not just older versions of Windows.
