Crush the rebel dogs with a ‘Stars Wars’ AT-AT cat condo

Add as a preferred source on Google

Here at Digital Trends, we’re all for treating your pets with the appropriate amount of nerdy love, but we do have to question arming cats. Especially when you arm them with an actual imperial AT-AT. That’s just begging for an Imperial Kitten Empire led by Darth Catious.

Reddit user, BillyAppletini, created his CAT-AT as a joke for a friend who loves Star Wars and happens to own two cats. Mr. Appletini is quite the friend, especially since he spent almost a month building the CAT-AT in secrecy.

While the outside of the CAT-AT is quite impressive looking, and we particularly enjoy the clock installed in the head, it’s the interior that impresses even more. Check out some of the detail shots in the gallery above to see among other things a light-up bar, some bird-head hunting trophies and a fake plant. Appletini’s friend’s cats are living the high life.

We have to admit, we’re a little jealous of those cats and their nearly $1,000 house.

Fraimic’s E Ink art frame generates art from your voice and looks incredible doing it
Fraimic's AI art canvas is one of the most thoughtfully designed smart frames I've come across.
Indoors, Interior Design, Person

We’ve seen a lot of "smart art frames" at CES over the years. Most of them feel like glorified digital photo frames in turtlenecks. However, there’s one that feels genuinely different: Fraimic, and I say that as someone deeply skeptical of this category.

The pitch appears quite compelling at first. Speak a prompt into the device, and its built-in mic sends the command to OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0, which then generates full-color artwork that lands on a Spectra 6 E Ink display.

Google Home’s latest update makes it easier for you to start using automations
With version 4.20, the app will offer pre-built automations you can start using with a tap.

Google is rolling out a fresh batch of updates to Gemini for Home and the Google Home app, and the headline change is one that could get more users to try out automations. Version 4.20 of the Google Home app adds a handful of pre-built routines to the Automations tab, so instead of building one from scratch, you can pick one and turn it on with a tap.

No more starting from zero
