LG has left the phone market, but it still makes tablets

While LG is done with the mobile market, it still aims to display its manufacturing prowess through its other endeavours, with tablets being one of them.

The company just announced the LG Ultra Tab for its home market in South Korea (via Android Police).

The tablet is reportedly a low-end offering with a 10.35-inch WUXGA+ (2000 x 1200) IPS LCD display that runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 chipset. It features a max brightness of 500nits, alongside 64GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for additional storage.

It has a massive 7,040mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging, an eight-megapixel rear camera and a five-megapixel front camera paired with quad-stereo speakers and comes with Android 12.

The low-end tablet starts at KRW 462,000 (roughly $455 CAD), making it one of the cheaper tablets on the market.

It is currently unknown whether the tablet will ever be available in Canada.

Software engineer says RIP to Internet Explorer with an actual gravestone

A gravestone created for the now-dead web browser, Internet Explorer, has gone viral.

South Korean software engineer at Microsoft, Jung Ki-Young, ordered a headstone that took a month to design and receive, according to Reuters. Costing 430,000 KRW (about $433 CAD), the headstone features the well-known Explorer “e” logo followed by an English epitaph that reads, “He was a good tool to download other browsers.”

To celebrate the browser’s 27-year run, Ki-Young and his brother placed the memorial at a cafe in South Korean city Gyeongju.

As of June 15th, Microsoft now redirects Internet Explorer users to Microsoft Edge.
