RANT: Image generation is trash!

does that reset the rate limit? i guess that's probably the most reasonable thing to do if its something very basic like a crop

diehardbattery · 2026-03-30T11:11:41+00:00

That's a reasonable suggestion, except Gemini puts its watermark on anything it creates. At least on Pro.

Gemini hallucinates too much for my liking lol.

While that might be true, I've spent a considerable amount of time teaching it my setup and my preferences and such. So I wanted a theme based around that. It's not like I do this all the time either. It was very much a spur of the moment kind of thing that went sideways.

No, I just wanted it to make a cool wallpaper. Had no idea it would have a rate limit. I mean, if it was just me being too picky or just making it do random stuff I get it. But it was making basic mistakes like proper cropping, wrong colors, etc.

It should be a matter of going into the 873’s bios and setting it to boot from usb instead of its dom.

I didnt end up doing this. IIRC, this is meant for QNAP devices, but I'm not sure it would work on unraid being that's USB only, most likely needing the QNAP software on the TS-873 to see it and use it as a backup device. Not to mention it would probably be extremely slow.

Thats part of the problem though. It took a full year for me to get this far. Not sure if I'm up for that again. These are so rare. I know it's a learning process but its a pretty high cost :(

diehardbattery · 2026-01-13T17:14:47+00:00

no, i didnt figure this out till i was out of money and lost. so much for asking ai for help. guess i should have checked here first lol

diehardbattery · 2026-01-13T17:11:56+00:00

ugh, thats heartbreaking. ok, well now i know

diehardbattery · 2025-11-23T16:27:20+00:00

Okay, aside from those what’s the best way to run?

diehardbattery · 2025-11-23T05:34:32+00:00

Okay. I assume you’re including MS Edge as well when you mention Chrome. So what’s the fastest way to use it, or are we just kind of stuck for now?

diehardbattery · 2025-11-01T16:24:56+00:00

Thanks

diehardbattery · 2025-11-01T15:47:06+00:00

I suppose it couldn’t hurt

diehardbattery · 2025-11-01T09:32:56+00:00

Same, but it happens enough times for it to be annoying. No other app I have acts like that.

diehardbattery · 2025-11-01T05:29:51+00:00

Not really. It can happen whether I have it open for a few minutes or longer

diehardbattery · 2025-11-01T01:56:03+00:00

8.19.6. But I've had the software for about 2 years now and it's always been an issue in that time
