Can someone please help me get a Matlab crack installing?
I've tried 2 different Windows cracks I found -- the FileCR 2023b crack, and the AppDoze 2025a crack. Both look legit to me but in both cases I get the exact same issue: With my computer offline, following the readmes, I mount the iso, run setup.exe, select "I have a File Installation Key", enter said key, and get this error: "Unable to load product files. Product files must be in the same folder as the input file. For help getting the product files, see the installation documentation on MATLAB Answer" which links to mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an… which is clear as mud.
I tried 0ing out the key and confirmed that it recognizes when you give it a bad key, so the key in the crack is still detected as a valid key, that's probably not the issue.
Thank you to any fellow pirate who can help a poor cuttlefish out o7 ❤
EDIT: Based on mathworks.com/matlabcentral/an…
I should be able to use the installer (once logged in) to download files without installing, then go offline and use the file installation key. However, the option to download files without installing is all greyed out.

Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.
Approval to build settlements has accelerated rapidly under the current Israeli government, which includes vehemently pro-settler parties that want to annex the West Bank to Israel.

While Carr complained that Democrats interpreted his comments as a threat to Disney, he didn't mention that his comments were also interpreted as a threat by several prominent Senate Republicans. Disney suspended Kimmel's show last week after Carr said ABC affiliates could have licenses revoked for "news distortion," but reinstated Kimmel yesterday after facing backlash from the public. Kimmel will be back on the air on many ABC-affiliated stations, but not those run by Nexstar and Sinclair, which have replaced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news and other programming.

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.These statements were the spark that lit the most widespread and powerful action in Italy in solidarity with Palestine: a nationwide day of strikes, blockades, marches, and clashes with police — who responded with brutal repression.
Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.

Democratic lawmakers demand answers from TV station owners over pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show
ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.
Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”
“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.
YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality - United States
YouTube secretly used artificial intelligence to modify creators' videos without notification or consent, making subtle changes to their appearance1. According to Rick Beato, who runs a YouTube channel with over 5 million subscribers, he noticed strange alterations in his videos - his hair looked different and it appeared he was wearing makeup1.
The AI modifications included sharpening skin in some areas while smoothing it in others, defining wrinkles in clothing more clearly, and causing subtle warping of features like ears1. YouTuber Rhett Shull, who investigated the changes, said "If I wanted this terrible over-sharpening I would have done it myself... I think that deeply misrepresents me and what I do and my voice on the internet"1.
The unauthorized AI enhancements represent a concerning trend where artificial intelligence increasingly mediates reality before it reaches viewers, potentially eroding authentic connections between creators and their audiences1.

Hi,
This post has comments : jlai.lu/post/26123233
But when asking the API : jlai.lu/api/v3/comment/list?po…
An empty array is returned.
Why ?

Looking at the network tab while loading a thread, I see you need to include type_=All.
(lemmy-ui sends other parameters too but your example URL works for me with just tyoe_=All added.)
Thanks.
Now, why isn't that required for an older post ?

YouTube will restore channels banned for COVID and election misinformation
YouTube announced it will restore thousands of channels that were previously banned for violating its COVID-19 and election integrity policies1. This decision came in a 28-page letter from Alphabet to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on September 23, 20252.
The company acknowledged that Biden administration officials had pressured YouTube to remove content "that did not violate its policies," which Alphabet called "unacceptable and wrong"12. YouTube's current guidelines now permit a "wider range of content" regarding COVID-19 and elections1.
Notable figures who could return include Dan Bongino (now FBI Deputy Director), White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka, and others who were banned for discussing COVID-19 or election claims3. The platform will offer terminated creators a process to rejoin if they were banned for violating policies that are no longer in effect2.
As part of this change, YouTube will also ban the use of official fact-checkers on its platform, instead launching a feature similar to X's "Community Notes" that allows users to provide context on videos2.

in reply to ExcessShiv • • •That looks super cool but I do think I specifically need Matlab since that's what I've prototyped some ideas in already (I have an old crack but there are some new specialized toolboxes I want to use or at least try out which require a new version of matlab which these cracks claim to have and I don't see an equivalent in SciLab).
Basically, if I can get a new crack of Matlab working to use the new toolboxes, I can rapidly iterate through and test some ideas. If not, I was going to have to dig into some other open source tools which is going to be way more effort.

These days you look for a new device for your lab, experiment or production and you look for the Python interface. No Python interface? GTFO then good luck selling anything.

in reply to sexual_tomato • • •It's for a musical project. I wanted a very specific effect applied to some vocals I sang. I couldn't find any tools that did what I wanted, asked on various forums over the years but every pre-built tool someone recommended failed to achieve the effect I was imagining. Out of frustration I ended up writing something myself in Matlab to postprocess a vocal line I recorded and I quite liked the results! (And I know I could have used Python for that but I like Matlab.
Up to this point Matlab was just a personal preference. But then I decided I wanted to experiment with applying that effect in real-time, which would mean creating my own audio unit and throwing it into my DAW,
and went looking for ways to make one. Turns out Matlab's got a command for it since 2022b! mathworks.com/help/audio/audio… so if I could get my hands on it, that would be by far the easiest and quickest way to experiment more with it.
I learned a couple days ago that there are open source tools designed for making AUs -- Cabbage, Faust -- but I've never used them. Since I already have the Matlab code and am familiar with Matlab, I thought it would be nice to just use that toolbox for a quick first pass. It probably wouldn't take long to port it to pyhon, but I've found no Python libraries that can generate an audio unit (without wrapping around what's in the next sentence, which is extra work). There's a C++ library called JUCE that can but I find C++ frustrating and don't have a good dev environment set up for it anymore.
The musical project, by the way, is a mix of a shitpost and a passion project and will never see a cent of earnings, so I cannot justify paying Mathwork's high prices.
