Celebrating 20 Years of Lifeline IT

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.

Back-Up Basics

In the days of the all-encompassing cloud, many of us think we have our back-ups under control. However, it’s not always as simple as that. Lifeline IT’s Daniel Mitchell talks about some of the issues and why backups are such an important part of your IT system.

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.

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.
