For a while in the 2010s I read a magazine called CPU I picked up MicroCenter. It's glossy about all aspects of computing aimed at gamers. It was written at the Scientific American level- not too technical like ACM Communications and not too dumbed down like computers for specific computer brands.
Another folksy magazine is 2600. Its hacking for both beginners and advanced experts. Often there were tutorial articles on broad principles of computing.
I have seen neither since covid reopening. Either they failed during covid or bookstores have shrunk magazine inventory. Also many magazines/journals have gone digital only. You cant really browse them at university libraries anyone unless you have an affiliation account at the university.
P.S. I remember when Byte was a mimeographed newsletter before it turned into a glossy.
- gtfoutttt 4y ago2600 is still in print, but they did have some major distribution issues during COVID. I believe they have worked them all out by now. They've been digitizing the collection as well, coming out the with annual digests. If you still like paper a lifetime subscription is surprisingly reasonable. I subscribed about 20 years ago and have definitely gotten my money's worth.
