Around a dozen parents huddled in the dim hallway outside the courtroom in February, nervously gripping paper tickets. They were glaring at a gray tote bag held by a member of the court staff - the one who'd determine, by lottery, if they made it inside. Pinned on bags and coats, butterfly clips honored children […]
Get ready to get even more KPop, demonier, and as huntery as possible. Netflix's smash-hit, Oscar-nominated animated film KPop Demon Hunters is returning for a sequel, with the fictional Korean girl group HUNTR/X coming back to lay down pop hits and smash evil boybands (and/or other demons). Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will once again […]
Despite the fact Apple released a new AirTag in January, the first-generation AirTag is still a top-notch tracker if you’re embedded in Apple’s ecosystem.

Hi HN! I'm 13 and I built Aurion OS as a solo learning project over 14 days (~12 hours/day).
It's a 32-bit x86 operating system written entirely in C and x86 Assembly with no external libraries.
What it has: Custom bootloader and kernel VESA framebuffer graphics (1920x1080, double-buffered) Window manager with draggable, overlapping windows macOS-inspired dock with transparency PS/2 keyboard and mouse drivers ATA hard drive driver with filesystem PCI bus enumeration RTL8139 network driver (WIP) Real-time clock Runs on just 16MB RAM (up to 10 windows simultaneously)
Built-in apps: Terminal (with DOS mode), Notepad (save/load), Calculator, Paint (multiple colors and brush sizes), Snake game, Settings (theme switching), and System Info.
Currently works best on QEMU, VirtualBox, and VMware. Real hardware support is still a work in progress.
Next goal: TCP/IP networking stack.
I'd love any feedback, suggestions, or criticism. This is my first OS project and I learned mass amounts while building it. Happy to answer any technical questions!
