Shuttle ST61G4 SFF PC Review

By Ian Bell Published January 20, 2004

Quote from the review at HardOCP:

“From outward appearances, I was impressed with the ST61G4. Shuttle has obviously been listening to its users, as evident by the design and placement of various components. Between the PSU exhausting its air from the back of the case, to the place of the CMOS jumper, not to mention the copper base improvements to the I.C.E system, this is definitely a well designed box.

One thing really sticks out though – where’s the enthusiast love?? The overclocking potential of the Intel socket 478 CPUs is almost legendary, yet with this system, you cannot even begin to scratch the surface. A 15 MHz allowable overclock is a joke, and the voltages allowed are definitely not much better. With all the hype surrounding ATI’s chipset, I was definitely expecting more in this area.”

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.
