I just want healthcare and a planet that's not on fire.
Best I can do is microplastics in your blood.
We already have forever chemicals in your blood at home. It’s called Teflon.
What percent cyborg does this make me?
At least 3
To be fair, Adobe wasn't going to fix either of those problems.
For that, people would need to stop voting for neoliberals first.
TIL. I hadn't looked up that word before, just assumed it meant 'new liberal' in the USA liberal vs conservative sense, when really it seems to mean virtually the opposite of what liberal means here.
Not really. The trick in the US system is that both parties are neoliberal, so there actually isn't a choice. They just differ in social aspects (neoliberalism is purely about economy).
The opposite of a neoliberal within a democratic framework would more or less be a social democrat (like Bernie Sanders).
What steps are you taking towards that goal?
What happens when adobe decides to stop supporting this? Are you left with useless waste?
And how much is the annual subscription?
$69.99/month. $49.99 for every design change.
$999.99 for a 2 year warranty. Only Adobe Technicians can service it.
When you miss a payment in your subscription, it will randomly turn transparent while you’re out and about.
👀👀👀👀
> Adobe
The clothing will go transparent unless you pay a monthly fee.
The clothing will have 3rd party ads unless you pay a monthly fee.
Just what I need.
So if your subscription expires, will it go fully transparent?
While cool, what a waste of everything.
Beautiful plastic bullshit
My pencil case wore it better
Could we ban that kinda shit for climate change until the planet's unfucked please
(i.e. probably never)
If it makes money to someone, fuck the planet. We all know how capitalism works at this point.
Adobe's CEO Shantanyu is a greedy bastard.
*while standing.
Imagine sitting down with this and it not breaking to pieces. Also, the power pack and whatever the compute module is also back there, and definitely not small.
They probably have their arm behind their back for a reason
Power and compute unit is rather trivial problem to solve, I suppose it's big as it's on a prototype state. But that looks more like a scale mail apron with e-ink displays than a fabric you could actually use as a clothing. Neat tech demo, but that's pretty much it.
Did you watch the video? She said she sewed each piece together herself. It's sewn, not one rigid piece of anything.
There's also 30 second clip showing how the thing is built and it is pretty much scale mail -style pieces with an single pixel e-ink style display (apparently that's not really e-ink, but something similar). That's not something I would call 'fabric'. Embedding electronics to clothing isn't a new idea and it has been done by hobbyists and professionals over and over again with different solutions, this is just one more.
I don't doubt her claim, she sewed the dress and the components on top of it, but that's still not something I would call 'dynamic clothing'. If I hot glue an E-ink display on my baseball cap and mount batteries + arduino on it would that be dynamic clothing? With some definition, maybe, but in my opinion the story claims to be a bit more than that.
Just in time for Halloween. Let’s all get this dress, make Rorschach masks and terrorize CEOs.
Not very practical. How do you clean this thing? One drunk white girl night and that thing is headed to the landfill
You want me to wear the same thing twice? Why do you hate me?
No.
