A free, open-source Windows audio overlay that shows volume, Voicemeeter levels, and now-playing media.

Why it surfaced

Plith replaces Windows’ aging volume card with a rounded overlay that can follow Voicemeeter buses, SteelSeries Sonar, Wave Link, Rode Unify, or the default Windows endpoint. It can also appear over exclusive-fullscreen games without reading game memory or injecting input—a careful answer to a surprisingly specific desktop annoyance.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
