>Consider what a clean delineation between tech news and “real” news would mean

The old 90s tech magazines like CPU magazine or PC World come to mind. Nothing wrong with that kind of publication, and I wish there was more of it.

Not everything has to be about politics.

Talking about tech as if it exists outside the context that surrounds it is like talking about farming without considering who it feeds. Sure you can totally do that, but let’s not talk about why that silo of oats is rotting when there are hungry people out there.

Peril, etc.

Not to be too facetious, but, where -- uh -- are those magazines today? The internet changed things. Being that hyper-focused on a topic makes for building a good niche, but maybe not a good business.

Where are any magazines today? Journalism is struggling across the board.

This kind of content is still out there, but it’s more on youtube or hackaday or maybe TomsHardware.
