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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 105 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 93 points 10 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How can I cancel her subscription?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months 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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago

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

This article desperately needs video.

Here's the official video from Adobe. Bump to 45s into the vid to see the dress in action:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly lol what kind of absurd article doesn't include the video

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

That video is included in the article, it's just at the very bottom for some reason.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Is it gold or blue I can't tell

you know you are talking to an engineer when they say

Non-emissive material with reflective light-diffuser modules

instead of "mirrors"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months 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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You just haven't turned the current high enough.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Still no pockets though.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Dry clean only of course

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And why do you want this?

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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