A study of NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) data on stellar pairs undergoing mutual eclipses has uncovered more than two dozen candidate exoplanets, or worlds beyond our solar system. This method allows the mission to locate planets it couldn’t otherwise detect.  To date, TESS has discovered 885 confirmed exoplanets and identified more than 7,900 candidates, nearly all found because the planets pass in front of their stars from our perspective. These events, called transits, produce a small, regular dip in the brightness of the planet’s host star. TESS also observes tens of thousands of eclipsing binary stars — two…

Claude Code is locked behind Claude’s Pro or Max plan, and at $20 a month, that is not exactly pocket change for a subscription you might only be dipping into occasionally. But there is a way to use Claude Code for free! Related I finally caught up…

He adds that through his work as @evleaks, he’s unable to support a steady income, and going a bit deeper, admits he can’t afford an important prescription – Blass was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder) in 2014.

More than 40,000 servers have likely been compromised as attackers ramp up exploitation of a recently patched cPanel zero-day.

Robert Triggs / Android AuthorityTL;DR Plex is increasing the price of its Remote Watch Pass starting June 1, 2026.
