Me, hacking Adobe and cancelling all subscriptions during the oscars: “You’re welcome”
CatZoomies@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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 8 months ago
You have to subscribe or else it just goes transparent.
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 8 months ago
How can I cancel her subscription?
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Just update your host file so it can’t connect to adobe.com
Chozo@kbin.social 8 months ago
"Hurry up, we're gonna be late for our reservation."
"Hold on, my dress has to install an update!"
netburnr@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I will wait until the gimp version is released

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:
figaro@lemdro.id 8 months ago
Honestly lol what kind of absurd article doesn’t include the video
QHC@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That video is included in the article, it’s just at the very bottom for some reason.

pretty impressive, especially these animations.
scottywh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Thanks… Been seeing the article but didn’t even want to bother with reading about it.
The video is pretty damn cool though.

Love this is what we spend our resources on while children go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.
jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
You could say the same thing about posting on Lemmy. Or playing your favorite RPG. Or Starbucks’ newest coffee flavor. Or any number of other comforts.
This is the “don’t be depressed, people in Africa have it worse” kind of argument.
atetulo@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Nah. Magnitude matters, and the resources wasted doing this could have a legitimate impact.
This is the “don’t be depressed, starving children in Africa have it worse” kind of argument. Please don’t.
No it’s not, and you’re resorting to analogies because you can’t argue against the topic at hand. Please try to stay on topic.

Despite what the GOP would have you believe, The US and EU have actually achieved post-scarcity. You should be fighting for post-inequality because that is what is holding back the rest of the world, as well as millions of citizens of the US and EU.
atetulo@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Yes, we’re just passing a bunch of money around at the top.
It’s why I almost never take Americans seriously when they say they ‘need’ more money. They don’t know what that word means, or what hard work really is.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The people who designed this were paid to design this. I presume that at least some of them have children. Therefore, resources spent to invent this did go to give children food, water, shelter, etc.
You’re welcome.
atetulo@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Yeah, they could’ve done something else useful for society and still support their families.
You’re welcome.
For what? Your mental gymnastics? Lol.
Jumpinship@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My god, go back to lemmygrad.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My internet, please go back to Reddit where your capitalist takes will be supported.
ansis@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is it gold or blue I can’t tell
massive_bereavement@kbin.social 8 months ago
NOT AGAIN.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 8 months ago
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 8 months ago
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
nothing@lemm.ee 8 months ago
And why do you want this?
Or was this a “We can build it so we did”?
gregorum@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Because it’s awesome and also yes.
ripcord@kbin.social 8 months ago
I miss when everyone wasn't super pessimistic about absolutely everything and it was ok to do things for these reasons
Gregorech@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s like the dress Rorschach made his mask from in Watchmen.
ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 8 months ago
I mean… not really… it is auto-sequins.
Gregorech@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s as close as anyone has come so far.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s in an autosequence.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Still no pockets though.
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And you can totally just throw it in the washing machine, right?
evidences@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Dry clean only of course
Dope@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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 8 months ago
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.
Dope@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
Petter1@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Powerbank backpack lol I guess you could go pretty small with hardware in these ARM days comming
robocall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
OMG she’s wearing the same dress she wore last week! She just changed the design!
Melt@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It won’t matter, women will buy it, wear it to ONE event and then never wear it again
5gruel@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Women amirite
madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Women be shoppin - Abraham Lincoln
GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Reminds me of the book The Diamond Age, where the clothes used nanotech to transform and become waterproof etc.
Gregorech@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Or the dress that Rorschach made his mask from.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Hey look its the prototype for Metal Gear Solid.
kubica@kbin.social 8 months ago
I don't know it sound more like an invention for 10 years ago (maybe being kind).
MooseBoys@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Can it turn into the face of Nic Cage?
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 8 months ago
id be more excited for this if it wasnt adobe.. fuck adobe
BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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
