Is there any magazines like this left? When I was a kid, I used to buy these. I didn't even have a computer, I was just enjoying imagining what I could do if I had one. Didn't understand 10% or the content though.

These are free modern magazines that capture the feeling of joy of programming that Dobbs and BYTE used to have
There'a also Visual studio Magazine but it's obviously Microsoft-centric [1].
Also CODE magazine [2] but it's more lightweight, feels more "commercial".
