The seventh Today I’m Toying With giveaway is live. Each week, I give away gadgets from my TITW videos, because I can’t ethically keep them! You can enter each new giveaway at theverge.com/TITW (or by email, see the rules) starting 9AM each Wednesday; I draw a winner a week later.
Empty offices. Bald-faced lies. No real consequences.

It’s a limited-edition orange Death Stranding version of km5’s CP1, a wireless CD player with USB-C charging, 7-8 hour battery, Bluetooth and 3.5mm output — plus optional screw mounts for your wall. Out of stock, but neon yellon is still available without Kojima’s touches. A worthy addition to our transparent gadget StoryStream.
Yes, it’s bigger than the 3.8-liter Steam Machine and the 4.5-liter Framework Desktop, but nicnic’s DIY desktop oozes style — and fits Valve’s open-source “Inkterface” e-paper status screen. If you don’t care for slime green, why not print your own in any color you like? The files are free.
