I was looking for old copies of the now closed magazine Diyode and stumbled upon Silicon Chip mag. Has anyone read that?
I used to be a subscriber to Practical Electronics but found that the articles start to repeat after a few years.
Any recommended reading?
What are your favourite magazines?

I'm fed up of all general electronics magazines because they almost all gave up making an effort : (
Niche-oriented electronics/computing magazines exist but are (1) pricey, (2) require a subscription or (3) publish infrequently, or a combination!
For IEEE journals, (1) and (2) applies.
There are some quite good ham radio magazines, the UK RSGB magazine suffers from issue (2).
MIT Press has some great niche computing/electronics with music/arts, but (2) and (3) apply.
Occasionally an Elektor USB stick is lowered in price, that's not bad for a sort of occasional reference, but the spirit of a magazine to pick up and read is lost with that.
The tech magazine I miss the most is Dr. Dobbs by far. I used to read every page plus the ads, and then couldn't wait for the next one to arrive. I only understood a fraction at the time, but I think it helped me a lot.
Even the vaguely tech magazines like "Wired" (which I would never buy regularly or ever want a subscription to either) are a husk. It measures 3 mm thick! (accurately measured with calipers, I'm not exaggerating..). You're paying £3 per millimeter.
