Other Information

Antivirus

It is highly recommended that you have a working and up to date antivirus installed.

Generally, the built it protection from your operating system is sufficient. If you prefer an third-party option, we recommend Sophos Home (the free version is sufficient).

Backups

Computers are fragile! Every year at least one Member experiences computers problems and loses important files, usually from accidental drops and liquid spills. In many cases, the user hasn't recently backed up their files, if at all. Please don’t be one of these people. File sync services (OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud) or external drives are either free or relatively inexpensive, and will save you a lot of headaches.

Electronic Equipment & Battery Disposal

Do not dispose of electronic equipment and batteries (either lithium or AA, AAA, 9V, etc) in the rubbish

Improperly disposed of batteries can and caused fire. These and electronics also contain dangerous element which may leach into and contaminate groundwater beneath the landfill.

Batteries and electronics can be left with the Business & IT Manager, who will arrange for safe disposal.
