I have a LORA node up-linking data to a Thingspeak channel via The Things Network (TTN). Sometimes it stops sending data and I reboot it by logging into my console on TTN and sending a re-boot down-link message to the node. Is there any way I can transmit a downlink message to the node direct from Thinkspeak?

Intel Mac not supported as of R2026a :(

As of R2026a, only the Apple Silicon series is supported.
My Intel Mac dates to June 2020; the M1 series was released in November 2020.
So we got only 5 years of use before MATLAB gave up on us. 2 years (R2023b) since the native M1 version was introduced.
I don't exactly have a spare $2500 to spend on a new iMac -- especially not for one that has a maximum of 32 gigabytes of memory when my current system has 128 gigabytes of memory.
I remain disappointed that Mathworks did not continue Intel support for longer.

Cleve Moler Elected to the National Academy of Sciences

We’re excited to share that Cleve Moler, creator of MATLAB, has been elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences—one of the highest honors in science.
This recognition celebrates Cleve’s groundbreaking contributions to numerical computing and his lasting impact on researchers, educators, and engineers around the world. From advancing numerical linear algebra to making powerful computation more accessible through MATLAB, his work has shaped how science and engineering are done today.
Please join us in congratulating Cleve on this well‑deserved honor!

I submitted a Matlab support case but posting this publicly to hopefully save people some trouble and see if anyone has ideas.
After upgrading my workstation from Ubuntu 25.10 to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, MATLAB GUI consistently prints this terminal error on shutdown:
free(): chunks in smallbin corrupted
MATLAB appears to run normally, but closing the GUI takes a long time and sometimes produces crash dumps. The terminal error occurs every time I close the GUI, but crash dumps are intermittent. I attached one R2026a crash dump. I had zero issues on Ubuntu 25.10.
Affected versions:
  • MATLAB R2026a
  • MATLAB R2025b
  • I suspect any 'new desktop' version
System:
  • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
  • AMD EPYC 7443P
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • Ubuntu 26.04 default NVIDIA driver: nvidia-driver-595-open, 595.58.03
  • NVIDIA module path: /lib/modules/7.0.0-14-generic/kernel/nvidia-595-open/nvidia.ko
  • glibc 2.43
Important note: the error first occurred with a clean MathWorks MATLAB installation before installing the Ubuntu/Debian `matlab-support` package. I later tested after installing `matlab-support`, which I understand modifies/renames some MATLAB-bundled libraries so MATLAB uses selected system libraries instead. The same shutdown error occurs both before and after applying `matlab-support`. This suggests the issue is not caused solely by the Debian/Ubuntu `matlab-support` integration or solely by one of the libraries it substitutes.
The attached crash dump shows abort/free() heap corruption detected in libc, but the higher-level stack includes MATLAB libraries such as:
The issue appears GUI-specific. Using these startup flags shut down cleanly:
  • matlab -batch
  • matlab -nodesktop
  • matlab -nodisplay
The shutdown error still occurs with these startup flags:
  • normal GUI launch
  • -nosplash
  • -nojvm
  • -softwareopengl
  • -cefdisablegpu
The issue also persists after:
  • renaming/resetting ~/.matlab/R2026a and ~/.MathWorks/R2026a
  • launching with a clean environment without LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD, MATLAB_JAVA, JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME, etc.
  • testing a new Ubuntu user account
  • testing Ubuntu/GNOME, GNOME, and Xfce X11 sessions
  • testing NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 and GTK_USE_PORTAL=0
  • temporarily moving ~/.MathWorks/ServiceHost
  • testing GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.tcache_count=0
  • trying to capture a system coredump with ulimit -c unlimited / coredumpctl; no system coredump was produced
Because R2025b and R2026a are both affected, terminal-only modes exit cleanly, the problem occurs across GNOME/Wayland and Xfce/X11, and the error occurred on a clean MATLAB install before any `matlab-support` modifications, this appears related to MATLAB GUI shutdown on Ubuntu 26.04 / glibc 2.43 rather than a corrupted MATLAB preference folder, a single desktop session, or the Ubuntu `matlab-support` package.
Example crash dump:

Have been using Thingspeak for a few years, suddenly I get this message relating to one of my Matlab analysis scripts, which has run for years:
Error Message:
Unrecognized function or variable 'cusum'. cusum requires Signal Processing Toolbox.
What has changed to cause this error - I've done nothing!

anniversary of The Great Outage

We are nearly at the anniversary of The Great Outage, May 19 2025 to May 27 2025. At the time, many Mathworks services were down due to a ransomware attack.
Some service was restored by May 21 2025 but it went down again after that.
I see some indication that some features such as @doc took even longer to restore than May 27th.
The outage came as MATLAB Answers usage was already declining a fair bit due to widespread AI use, and unfortunately some of the existing traffic just never came back.

Resizing panels in MATLAB® desktop

I am a bit neurotic about getting things "just right" and I would really like the ability to resize panels on the desktop to predefined default configurations. I know that I can set up the panels by hand and save them, but I'd like to be able to automatically set a 3 column layout to 25%-50%-25% or perhaps 33%-34%-33% This would be somewhat like the snap feature in windows shown here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/snap-your-windows-885a9b1e-a983-a3b1-16cd-c531795e6241. This wouldn't have to preclude setting them by hand but it would offer an automated alternative.
If this feature already exists, perhaps someone can point me to it.
