you can stop FL Studio from adding 30-60 seconds of silence at the end of your exports:

on the export dialog switch "Tail" to "Cut remainder".

make sure you do your own fade out or you'll get a sharp cutoff, as the name implies.

I ordered an Eton Field Elite receiver via Amazon Warehouse. Someone there decided to ship an electronics item - a radio with an LED/LCD display - in a plastic bag! There was no box, ZERO padding or protection, not even bubble wrap. We actually heard it arrive and we literally jumped in our chairs due to a loud crashing sound - the sound of the Amazon driver dropping the plastic envelope containing the radio on our tile front walkway. It survived, with dents and many scratches. Unbelievable! smh

Just opened my ThinkPad and for the second time in three days the act of closing the laptop to sleep it, then opening it again had caused Ubuntu to hardlock. This time I got a very brief small printout about "amd ring 0 error", then it went back to a black screen and I had to hold down the power button again.

I thought getting a ThinkPad, getting AMD cpu/gpu and picking the Linux distro Lenovo lists as supported would mean I got a minimally functioning computer but I guess not.
