    Cities: Skylines 2’s fix for high rent? Removing landlords.

    For months, players have struggled to resolve the “high rent” notification popping up inside their cities. But now, developers say they fixed the issue by eliminating “virtual landlords,” who’ve apparently been driving up prices behind the scenes. Instead, rent is now equally paid by all renters, and they’ll automatically move out if it gets too high.

    Apple could soon face charges in the EU over its App Store policy.

    EU regulators are preparing to charge Apple over claims it’s stifling competition by charging developers to link users to outside purchases, according to The Financial Times. The decision is expected in the coming weeks and would mark the first time the EU has charged a company under the newly-imposed Digital Markets Act.

    More signs point to stem-sporting Galaxy Buds 3.

    Icons spotted on Samsung’s website show the Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro headphones with AirPods-like stems — much like the leaked Galaxy Buds Pro 3 image posted by Evan Blass last week.

    The average price of DVDs and Blu-rays has gone up.

    As reported by Consumer Affairs, data shows that the average price of “video discs and other media” reached $44.06 in April 2024, a 29 percent increase compared to last year.

    That price may only continue to rise as stores like Best Buy and Target turn away from physical media. I guess I started raiding Walmart’s $5 DVD bin at the right time!
