I strongly miss such magazines. Yes, the web is a great resource for anything you want to know. But there is a curated completeness to such magazines, which I wish current websites had. Even popular magazines (I don't wish to name them) are often just glam. The only magazine/journal I know currently with introductory technical articles worth reading is IEEE Spectrum.

This is sadly the case, I see it too, even with old "underground" zines like 2600. But to be frank, they jumped ship a decade or two ago.
