🎅Bonustürchen: Hochleistungsrechnen🖥️

Wer hat sich Gestern alles die neueste GPU gewünscht und nicht bekommen? Macht Euch nix draus, in 8 Tagen wär die doch eh schon wieder sowas von "Letztes Jahr"!

Ein Analogrechner mit Logarithmentafel und Oszi, das hat immer Zukunft!

Schöne Feiertage Euch allen!

A nice Christmas surprise – qemu 10.2.0 is out including support for HP 9000 715/64 emulation, one of the machines supported by NeXTstep/PA-RISC. The NeXTstep kernel now is able to make quite a bit more progress but complains about "unknown interrupt"s.
