I bought some electronic hobbyist magazines few years ago (like Nuts & Volts) out of curiosity and because I always wanted subscription as a kid, but we never had it.
It was utterly underwhelming. The writing was ok, but each issue was maybe an an equivalent of 1-2 days worth of hackaday.com articles and nowhere as detailed as personal blogs (think "sprites mods"). This means that most issues will have at most one interesting article, or maybe none.
I would love to support the physical media, but it is simply not interesting enough.

- bombcar 3y agoWe had a local "computer magazine" that was free (the local computer shops paid to advertise in it) and the best thing about it was the absolute _variety_ of the content. From detailed "here's how to rebuild civilization with a soldering iron and an 8088" to "tuning graphics on your SGI" and so on, it gave a great cross-section of the industry.
