Amazon's got a hole in its bucket...
It’s a global cloud IT powerhouse second only to Microsoft, but as we’ve been hearing recently, its security leaves much to be desired. That’s right, we’re talking about the much maligned Amazon Web Services (AWS), used every day by major companies around the world - and responsible for leaking data from a fair few of them.

The real danger of AI is distinctly human
When you think of AI being dangerous, you probably think of the classic “killer computers” portrayed in movies. Skynet, HAL 9000, whatever that evil computer in I, Robot was called - you know the ones.

The importance of the middleman in a meltdown
Last week, we got off to a pretty awful start for computing in 2018. News broke that two serious vulnerabilities, dubbed Meltdown and Spectre, had been found in processor chips from Intel, AMD and ARM. While Spectre affects more or less every device with one of these chips manufactured in the last ten years,
What to expect from tech in 2018
Happy new year! As a technology provider, we make sure to keep our eye on the latest tech trends. 2017 was a bit of a rollercoaster for technology. We saw electric cars go from strength to strength (as for the driverless ones, not so much). Meanwhile, the stratospheric rise of Bitcoin and the blockchain took everyone by surprise....
Silver Lining's first Golf Day is a hole in one!
On Friday November 10th, we teed up at Skylark Golf and Country Club for an enjoyable day of golfing greatness with some of our customers and local businesses.
