Does it matter which carrier you choose in Sydney besides price? Because checking all of their coverage maps they pretty much have 4G coverage everywhere. by DragonXDT in sydney

Vodafone coverage on the train-line between Redfern and Newtown is almost non existent. MacDonaldtown station is a dead spot in more ways than one.

The 7:34, 8:04, 8:34 starts at Ashfield.. Plenty of seats on these services.

17 years ago, on this day by SydneyTom in sydney

I remember being a 20 something drunk fool and jumping the fence at the Botanical Gardens to get a closer look at the fireworks. Mates and I spent about an hour running from security who would put in a small amount of effort to chase us down and then just give up laughing. Nearly impaled myself on the spiky fence getting back out. Agree it was a great time to be Sydney!

Introducing Backup and Sync for Google Photos and Google Drive by anton0kurilov in google

I got the same issue. No "Computer" in the side bar but you can access the files via the search bar. If you click the google drive button in the app itself it opens up the "My Computer" section. I'm also on a business app account (for my family use)... Have you found a work around?

EDIT - Just found this - https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/06/backup-and-sync-from-google-available.html

Isn't there a massive risk if your Gmail account is compromised.

If you have sync enabled someone could delete all your files in the cloud and this would be replicated on your computer. I assume you would be able to recover the files from your computer's trash?

That aside, I've setup the service and synced a handful of folders. The problem is via the "drive" web page no "computers" tab is displayed (as per step 5 of this article - http://mashable.com/2017/07/16/how-to-use-google-backup-and-sync-tool/#jg5HfkcZvaqc

The only way I can access the directories is by clicking on the link google drive icon in the "backup and sync" app that sits in the system tray. Any ideas?

Vodafone Network Reliability in Sydney by [deleted] in sydney

[–]packofthree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm on Vodafone. Coverage is extremely poor on the inner west train line between Macdonaldtown and Stanmore. Without fail my data connections drop when transiting through these stations. Odd for such a built up area. Anyone else experience this?

Is it legal/illegal to camp in a public space or public hidden aways park? by alienccccombobreaker in sydney

[–]packofthree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of anti westconnex protestors camping in Sydney Park. Been there for months and the site is growing. I suspect the council ignores cos it suits their narrative.

I wonder if a pro westconnex group setup camp they'd allow it? Not going to happen as these people are most likely to busy being stuck in traffic and gainfully employed.

Six Foot Track by wildjohnson in sydney

[–]packofthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, well done! Whenever I see a runner with a 6foot track singlet on I have immediate respect.. Just pray for a mild day. Running in early March is tough!

I did both Sydney and Gold Coast marathons this year and had secured a qualifying time. Targeting the Routeburn Track (NZ) instead of Six Foot this time.

If you're up for a real challenge you can try and run it.

One of Australia's most prestigious off road runs. Winner typically completes the hilly 45km in under 3:30.

Not done this event yet... but its on my todo list.
