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?
- 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.
- 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.
  
  Why does this need to be subscription based? In what way does clothing that changes color or pattern or whatnot need to be connected to Adobe's severs?
- When you miss a payment in your subscription, it will randomly turn transparent while you’re out and about.

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
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.
My pencil case wore it better
*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.
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.
