nbfc VS lossless-cut

The only other thing I can think of is https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc

Try Notebook FanControl. There's a config profile for GL702VM included.

Non tinkerer answer: no Otherwise: Maybe, specially if you are a programmer, take a look at this project https://github.com/determ1ne/OmenHubLight (it supposedly supports four zones rgb and fan control), or this one https://github.com/alou-S/omen-fan which is for linux, but should give you an idea of what has to be done and maybe port it to windows using ec-probe utility from https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc, and last but not least the hp-wmi linux driver https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/hp/hp-wmi.c which has some of the gaming hub features ported.

As a person that still uses Linux on my laptop (its an old gaming laptop I use as a server) I know your pain about fan control, on windows you have many functional fancontrol software but on Linux it's crickets I did find this utility that worked for my laptop but it took over 3 hours for me to figure out how it worked and properly configure it for my specific gaming laptop

There are hacky ways like NBFC here: https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc This tool works by writing embedded controller registers directly. This can work for some laptops but has its own danger to it.

To depress just yet, fortunately, there is a very nice, open-source windows tool that can be used to control a laptop fans: NOTEBOOK FAN CONTROL

You have access to the fan curves only thru Armoury Crate's manual mode . I haven't personally tried this but there was an app called "notebook fan control", it might be helpful . I used to run it on my GL502VY laptop back in the day where it was kinda impossible to change the fan speeds. You can find it on github

For lossless cut, there's the LosslessCut [1] app, which even has an experimental but mostly working version of a "smart cut" feature [2] (aka. only re-encode the minimal mandatory amount of frames if you trim at a point between 2 key frames)

> thought I cropped/edited a video, it is still there in full length and resolution

It's been possible to create a clip from a video file that merely changes what parts of the video are displayed without effecting the data in the original since the Classic Mac OS days.

If you want to completely remove unwanted portions of a video to reduce the size without a loss of quality, there are many options. LosslessCut is one option that is both free and open source.

LosslessCut

Lossless Cut is probably the simplest way to cut out parts of a video without having to re-encode it or use an online service. It is open source, free and available for all platforms. It is in essence a frontend for FFMPEG and cuts without re-encoding, so the results are instantaneous.

Additionally I would like if possible to shorten (both to reduce dimension and to make them less boring) my videos by trimming the beginning and/or ends where often there is nothing interesting happening and possibly change the thumbnails for easier identification. Do you know of any tool that does the job with the minimum quality degradation possible? Many years ago I've tried with some videos and a tool I don't remember anymore, ending up with a bunch of corrupted files :( I've found https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut for the point above.. need to try it. please let me know what experience you have with it.

Lossless Cut would probably be a better choice for this. Will let you cut out the commercials without having to re-encode the video.

>Of course, you could only re-encode only the GoPs that get broken while keeping the rest intact, and I guess this would be better and a lot faster than re-encoding everything. I don't know if any application tries to do this.

LosslessCut does have experimental support for this partial re-encode called "smart cut" [1]. Since it's using ffmpeg internally, the challenge become how to instruct ffmpeg to do this[2]?
