[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You get the dress but have to subscribe to Dress Cloud for $50/mo and if you decide to discontinue it the dress randomly turns into a 90s era WB shirt and locks itself that way until you re-up

[–] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

If you subscribe for a whole year it only costs 599$ !

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 103 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Adobe: Pay $1699 yearly subscription or it will go transparent.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Me, hacking Adobe and cancelling all subscriptions during the oscars: "You're welcome"

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 85 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That’s a cute dress. If I pirate it, will I get a Creative Cloud warning pop up when it dials home?

[–] Kerrigor@kbin.social 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How can I cancel her subscription?

[–] deleted@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

CC.exe has stopped working.

Just update your host file so it can't connect to adobe.com

"Hurry up, we're gonna be late for our reservation."

"Hold on, my dress has to install an update!"

I will wait until the gimp version is released

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] reflex@kbin.social 53 points 2 years ago

They gonna release an ad-supported version to turn you into a walking billboard?

[–] ansis@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it gold or blue I can't tell

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you know you are talking to an engineer when they say

Non-emissive material with reflective light-diffuser modules

instead of "mirrors"

[–] huginn@feddit.it 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I believe most mirrors can't turn their reflectivity on and off based on an electric current.

I could be totally wrong about mirrors though

[–] leftzero@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

You just haven't turned the current high enough.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Still no pockets though.

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It's like the dress Rorschach made his mask from in Watchmen.

And you can totally just throw it in the washing machine, right?

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Dry clean only of course

[–] Dope@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For some reason I’m not super impressed with this. Looks too much like you’re wearing e-ink panels. Call me when these are fully functioning OLEDs that kinetically charge when you walk.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Each one of those scales operates as an independent display, and coordinating them is quite a challenge. I'd be interested in knowing what is driving them, because it's surely not very portable.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Powerbank backpack lol I guess you could go pretty small with hardware in these ARM days comming

[–] AnAngryAlpaca@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

EInk and monochrome LCD Type Displays need very low power, because you only need a tiny bit to switch them from one side to the other, but none to keep it black or white.

I’m sure orchestrating this isn’t super easy (however, if you treat every “display” as a “pixel”, Idk how this coding is different than a woman wearing a dress made of addressable LEDs— on the surface it doesn’t seem super complicated engineering), but it appears as unimpressive.

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And why do you want this?

Or was this a "We can build it so we did"?

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because it’s awesome and also yes.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I miss when everyone wasn't super pessimistic about absolutely everything and it was ok to do things for these reasons

OMG she's wearing the same dress she wore last week! She just changed the design!

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reminds me of the book The Diamond Age, where the clothes used nanotech to transform and become waterproof etc.

A changeable dress won't matter, women will buy it, wear it to ONE event and then never wear it again
