Paul & Chris are back! They’re kicking it old school. Join them as they go to warp speed. Well, just as soon as they can remove all the Google bloatware from the engineering software and find a cool external hard drive.

• “What browser are you using these days?” Chris answers in a blog post.

• How to “Remove Uninvited Google Apps from Launchpad” on Macs.
