ShareChebbo-Style and The Classic burger at Chebbo’s in Marrickville.Wolter PeetersAmerican$$$$ It’s the crisp, lacy smash patties that give this inner west burger joint an edge over the competition. With glowing menu screens, a soft drink station and matching uniforms, you’d be forgiven for thinking Chebbo’s is a national chain rather than the small, independent business it is. Owner Ali Chebbani started his fast-casual dining career flipping burgs in the family driveway, before graduating to a food truck in Roselands, and finally, a bricks-and-mortar store in Marrickville. The burgers are certainly easy to smash. The beef brisket patty is flattened into a thin, caramelised disc, where it’s topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese and a super-delicious sweet-tangy sauce.

It may not be the top reason to pick the Kensington SD5000T5 by Sean Hollister FacebookThreadsIf you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. The first Thunderbolt 5 cables arrived in July, and now it looks like we’re finally getting the first Thunderbolt 5 dock! Kensington has just announced the Intel-certified SD5000T5 EQ is now available to buy seemingly beating every rival to the 120Gbps single-cable docking punch J5Create and OWC’s docks aren’t yet available.) But even if you don’t have Thunderbolt 5 yet the Kensington has another trick up its ports It’s one of the very few (maybe the only?) Thunderbolt dock to offer 140W USB-C PD charging in case you’ve got a laptop that can use that much You won’t get 140 watts with most 16-inch MacBook Pros, as all but the most recent model only supports 140W over MagSafe and MagSafe doesn’t transfer data — but any since 2021 should get at least 100W of power over USB-C Technically, the USB-C PD standard now goes up to 240W, but no company has yet shipped a charger that comes close, and docks typically top out at 100W. HP and Lenovo have docks that offer 230W over a single cable but those cables have two heads and are meant for specific workstation laptops Thunderbolt 5 won’t truly get exciting until we can make use of all its speed — no Thunderbolt 5 storage drives have yet shipped, to my knowledge. But OWC did just open preorders for the Envoy Ultra which claims 6,000MB/sec transfer speeds and a claimed release date of October 2024 The new Kensington dock will ship later this month for $400 and the OWC Envoy Ultra will cost $400 for 2TB or $600 for 4TB Correction, September 17th: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated 16-inch MacBooks Pro can’t charge at 140W with a standard USB-C cable. That was true of 2021 and 2022 models, but the November 2023 model added it.

deliver a new income stream for the diocese The 4014sq m site was adjacent to the under-construction Five Dock Metro Station hub outlined in mid-2022 by Sydney Metro Traders In Purple director George Geagea said the St Albans project presented the ideal opportunity to deliver urgently needed new housing in a well-established inner-west suburb “Our approach to heritage and expertise in the delivery of mixed tenure housing was an important factor in the diocesan decision to engage Traders In Purple,” Geagea said “Sydney’s housing affordability and rental crisis cannot be solved without building more homes to meet the increase in population “Rather than pushing people out to the city fringe suburbs such as Five Dock were ideally placed to absorb some of this growth.” The Five Dock project was part of the Sydney Anglican Urban Renewal Pilot Program to activate church properties to become community hubs Anglican Church Growth Corporation chief executive officer Ross Jones said they planned to upgrade ministry facilities to develop mixed-use residential and social infrastructure so they would be fit-for-purpose “Greater Sydney and the Illawarra are experiencing a severe housing crisis

During this time, the machines will undergo all necessary maintenance before being relaunched to continue their journey to Sydney Olympic Park.  To date, the huge machines have excavated a total of 437,463 tonnes of material each and installed about 30,732 precast concrete segments to line the new tunnel walls.  To prepare for the arrival of the TBMs, the Five Dock station cavern was excavated with about 286,047 tonnes of material removed to create the underground box-like structure that is 22 metres wide and 30 metres deep.   Next stop for the TBMs is the Burwood North Metro Station site about two kilometres away, where they are due to arrive in early 2024.   Sydney Metro West’s autonomous tunnel boring machines (TBMs) powering ahead Transport for NSW recognise and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and care of Country.

He said the home had odd smells and remnants of past fires. “If you actually see what it is, it’s crazy … It’s shocking inside, you need a bulldozer … the big hype around it is that it’s only a land proposition. “It is one of the quietest and best streets in Five Dock, because you’re so close to everything, but you’re also in such a peaceful location,” Syrios revealed. The property was one of 908 scheduled auctions in Sydney on Saturday.

Bidding opened at $4,000,990 and for sold $400,000 above its $5.4 million reserve. “The increments were all over the shop … it started going up in $10,000s and people were knocking each other out in the $100,000s then slowed down to $50,000s and some $20,000s,” said McGrath Strathfield selling agent Tarun Sethi. He had guided the property at $4.85 million. The house last sold for $2.5 million in 2017, records show. An apartment in Redfern with soaring ceilings in a warehouse-style conversion drew four registrations, three of them being first-home buyers.

Raine & Horne Newtown selling agent Duncan Gordon said the buyers of the two-bedroom unit were looking forward to the opening of nearby Waterloo station. The facilities were also a major drawcard. “It’s got a rooftop pool, big barbecue area, you’ve got a gym that would match Fitness First,” said Gordon. The vendor, who was ecstatic with the results, had lived there for 15 years. The apartment last traded for $391,500 in 2008, records show.

It sold for $750,000 more than its reserve. 1 Bath1 ParkingView listing LJ Hooker Burwood selling agent Joe Murania said the guide was based on the median land value in Burwood. The buyer is keen to rebuild and create his forever home to live in. LJ Hooker Group’s Head of Research, Mathew Tiller, said the weekend clearance rate of 67.6 per cent was reflected in strong turnouts at open homes and auctions. Tiller said the results in Burwood and Five Dock were indicative of strong buyer demand. “People are buying properties that … do need to be knocked down. Because there’s not that supply in the market at the moment. “The lack of newly built supply coming into the market and the lack of listings as well is driving that lack of choice for buyers.” 'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing We gather data from the best available sources including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers The company promised that updated hardware would support quick data transfer speeds and lightning-fast power delivery Also: The best laptop docking stations you can buy  ZDNET RECOMMENDS Kensington SD5000T5 EQ Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station In addition to its fast charging feature Kensington's new SD5000T5 docking station can support a triple 4K display setup and houses a pair of 10Gbps USB-A ports for quick data transfers The first thing I noticed when I took the device out of the box was how big it was People with small desks may have a hard time finding a place for it The second thing I noticed was the ridges on the end They increase the surface volume for effective heat dissipation especially since they typically sit at the center of a computer setup Lower temperatures ensure better performance On the front and back are 12 individual ports Only one of the Thunderbolt 5 ports offers 140W power delivery -- the input with the laptop and lightning bolt icons above it Also: This 11-in-1 docking station instally decluttered my desk and is 44% off I plugged in a dead laptop to see how fast the port can charge The battery charged to 50% in about 45 minutes The other ports are downstream ports meant for transferring data They can still charge laptops and other devices Cesar Cadenas/ZDNETAs I already mentioned the docking station can also send a video signal out to three 4K displays so I can only confirm that Kensington's device supported them without issue I played a 4K YouTube livestream on one screen and a 4K movie on the other The image quality on both displays was equally good Also: This 12-in-1 Thunderbolt dock has a surpsrise power feature for Windows users you'll want to use the two USB-A ports on the back because they can reach speeds up to 10Gbps I sent a 10GB Google Takeout file from the laptop to my main desktop via the dock although I had trouble setting it up properly Kensington's SD5000TS will be available from September 21 for $400 although I would argue it is worth the price The docking station is quite useful for people who prefer using a laptop your computer must either be running Windows 11 or macOS 14.5 as the docking station does not support older devices.  If that's a dealbreaker, we also recommend the CalDigit TS4.

Although Thunderbolt 5 has twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 4 or three times with Bandwidth Boost mode it’s not clear if this dock supports PCIe 5.0 SSDs we’d probably expect J5Create to mention it the dock likely only supports PCIe 4.0 models That’s understandable considering a PCIe 4.0 NVMe connection caps out at 64Gbps; PCIe 5.0 would represent 128Gbps a speed that even Bandwidth Boost mode couldn’t accommodate The dock also comes with an assortment of high-speed ports: two USB Gen 3.2 Gen 2 Type A ports While that’s not a ton of ports compared to regular USB4 docks it’s about the same amount typically seen on eGPUs with integrated docks Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews which allows for up to 100 watts to be delivered to docked devices Tweakers reports that the JTD5174 Thunderbolt 5 dock will be available in the second half of the year for roughly $1,400 High-end USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4 docks cost around $200 to $300 and the ability to add an SSD are worth over a thousand dollars But if MXM somehow finds its footing with eGPU enclosures and takes off the ability to upgrade might make that big price tag easier to swallow Thunderbolt 5 dock comes with built-in PCIe 4.0 SSD and four TB5 ports — pricing starts at $399 Incredibly compact 10-in-1 USB-C Hub has a dial for customization 100W charging — HubKey includes five keys and a knob Gaming desktop with a mobile CPU — Asus tries a different approach with the TUF Gaming T500 National property group Traders In Purple has been appointed by the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to lead the urban renewal of St Albans Church at Five Dock The future vision for the church site will include a mix of new housing and ground floor amenity to enhance public space and seamless interaction with the adjacent Five Dock Metro Station Renewal of the Five Dock site will result in a considered mixed-use precinct to include housing As part of the site renewal, careful restoration of the heritage listed St Albans Church, whose foundation stone was laid in 1858, will be undertaken as well as adaptive reuse of Ridley Hall for a restaurant Traders In Purple will now begin church restoration works and commence discussions with Canada Bay Council and the NSW Government on planning approvals for the 4,014 sqm site “We look forward to enhancing St Albans Church and Ridley Hall so that the Five Dock community can continue to enjoy these much-loved local landmarks,” said Geagea “Our approach to heritage and expertise in the delivery of mixed tenure housing was an important factor in the Diocesan decision to engage Traders In Purple. We respect and enjoy working with the complexities of heritage properties and have demonstrated our capability in adaptive reuse of many local treasures "Together we are seeking to revitalise the heritage buildings to ensure that they continue to play the vital roles in the community’s life that they have for so many decades.” Its Correa Gardens community housing development won the Urban Taskforce Award for Affordable Residential Development last year The Five Dock project is part of the Sydney Anglican Urban Renewal Pilot Program (URPP), the aim of which is to activate church properties across the Sydney Diocese to become vital community hubs Geagea said the Five Dock Metro Station adjacent to St Albans presented the ideal opportunity to deliver urgently needed new housing in a well-established inner-west suburb “Transport infrastructure is the key to sustainable housing growth,” said Geagea “It enables a walkable lifestyle where people are not car dependent and have easy access to shops “Sydney’s housing affordability and rental crisis cannot be solved without building more homes to meet the increase in population. Rather than pushing people out to the city fringe, suburbs such as Five Dock are ideally placed to absorb some of this growth giving young people and families a chance for a home and a fulfilling lifestyle We aim to showcase every development in Australia to help you find the perfect new home!
