E-Waste: an opportunity to be ‘Greener’ with Tech
We’ve all heard of ‘fast fashion’ and its harm to the environment but there’s now a new concern – ‘e-waste’ caused by the vast amount of mobile phones and electrical items that are not being recycled. We take a look at the issue of e-waste and what you can do to mitigate against it.

The Benefits of On-site Servers
The go-to option for IT services and storage is nearly always cloud-based, with Microsoft, Google and Amazon Web Services (AWS) solutions. We take a closer look at the benefits of on-site servers and why it may sometimes be best to go old-school.
Terminated Tech Podcasts
To celebrate Lifeline IT's 20th anniversary, we’ve created a new series of of five short ‘Terminated Tech’ podcasts looking back at tech items that we all used regularly - from old-school mobiles, Pagers and Blackberries, through to digital cameras, iPods, CD players, landlines and faxes.
