Reduce size of Google Pixel (Android phone) videos (from Google Photos) while preserving metadata
  1. Plug your phone with usb
  2. copy large videos
  3. use the given batch script (requires ffmpeg.exe and exiftool.exe). Can simply drag drop a video on the .bat file to start conversion.
  4. copy the out file back to phone
  5. delete original large file from phone using Google photos

NOTE: the ffmpeg command uses Intel GPU acceleration using -c:v hevc_qsv. Change it if you want/need. for Nvidia GPU, use -c:v hevc_nvenc

List of Fast (no-bloat) Windows Softwares

Actually Fast Windows Tools

A good criteria to judge if a tool will be fast is often the package size. Tools in or under 10s of MBs usually do one thing and do it really well.

Tools listed here have fast/instant startup and/or handles large files without slowing everything down.

Document Editors / Viewers

  1. Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
  2. Notepad2 Notepad3 (not sure if these are actually fast)

Sort ROM files by Genre using ChatGPT

I tried writing shell script, then actual code for this. Found some lists

https://github.com/Wiimpathy/CreateCat/blob/master/data/GBA/GBA_list.txt https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/blob/master/metadat/genre/Nintendo%20-%20Game%20Boy%20Advance.dat

and even tried screenscraper api

but the problem always was finding and matching names correctly.

Gave up on that and simply used ChatGPT. It's reliable enough. Not many mistakes and even if it makes mistakes its not that big deal and overall this method is lot less painfull.
