Read the digital version of April 2020 Digit, FastTrack, SKOAR and dmystify today

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has ceased life to exist the way we know it. Most of you reading this are under lockdown. Self-isolation really is the only way to flatten the curve. The Digit editorial team too has been working out of our respective homes, and with the press closed, this is the fruit of our labour. Presented in an all new digital format right on Digit Geek.

The cover story of the month is about surviving the lockdown, the geek’s way. Life may look to have come to a standstill but this can also be a good time to brush up on some new skills. Ensure you keep the mind’s windows open and keep learning new things. Keep your kids occupied with fun activities and learn how you can help the elderlies by ensuring access to beneficial services and apps.

These are difficult times, but  somethings remain like it was.

Our test center was abuzz with 5G smartphones, a comeback from Onida, and a bunch of audio gear. Meanwhile, the SKOAR! issue is about all the games you can play during lockdown, including the adrenaline pumping FPS, Doom Eternal. Now’s the best time to pick up the slack on that backlog of games you’ve been sitting on. Or just get into gaming in general. This month’s FastTrack is on becoming a command line ninja. We cover the basics, and then some more, while Digit dmystify deals with something that’s been on our minds recently. What happens when we reach the line end of the line?

We wouldn’t have left you without your dose of Digit, FastTrack, dmystify and SKOAR! in this lockdown now, would we?
