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

      Thanks… Been seeing the article but didn’t even want to bother with reading about it.

      The video is pretty damn cool though.

    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.

      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.

        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.

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

    And why do you want this?

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

    Love this is what we spend our resources on while children go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.

      Despite what the GOP would have you believe, The US and EU have actually achieved post-scarcity, China is close. 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.

        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.

          Oh really? Americans don’t ever need more money? How about these Americans? They’re doing fine on whatever they can panhandle from people leaving the Walmart parking lot and dumpster food?

          Oh… and some of those people? Full-time employed.

            Looks like they’re living in a major city.

            Supply and demand.

            They can leave and their money will go way further. The problem is, a lot of people living in major cities feel they’re entitled to do so.

            Yeah. That’s definitely working harder than most people have throughout history for less.

            My bad.

            the first 5 of which never took off, but also consistently failed to drive me into bankruptcy.

            Lol, don’t blame your failed business ventures on me. If you think ‘hard work’ is all it takes to make a successful business, I’m sorry, that’s just a testament to why 5 of your businesses failed.

            and I’m finally not having to work 18 hour days 7 days a week.

            Let me guess, you’re also living a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people ever to live while working considerably less. And here you are, still finding ways to complain.

            Please take your complaints to the people subsistence farming or picking through landfills for a living. All your post does is prove my point that you don’t understand what hard work really is, or what the word need really means.

      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.

        Yeah, they could’ve done something else useful for society and still support their families.

        You’re welcome.

        For what? Your mental gymnastics? Lol.

          Capitalists doing capitalist shit.

          Of course they aren’t ok. They may think they are, but they are having to recognize that while the system may have worked for them, and me, it certainly doesn’t for most people and they can’t handle that.
