Ғылым және технология
Forget buying a fancy Facebook Portal or Amazon Echo Show. Dig out your old tablet or smartphone and make a homemade stand out of a box, wire hanger or even an egg carton. WSJ's Joanna Stern has all the DIY tips you need.

So far, I have nothing really bad to say about the Echo Show 15 kzread.infoUgkxLy1PfxFCJyzaqAlLb_2_M-D-JIrWUQea but I do have a couple small issues. The first issue is that I am completely clueless as to why Amazon put the volume buttons on the top in the opposite direction of how they show on the screen. So pressing the volume up on the top left moves the volume bar to the right on the screen but pressing the top right button moves the volume bar to the left of the screen. Most devices have volume up on the top or volume up on the right so that they correspond with the way the volume bar increases on the screen. The Echo 15 has them on backwards. The only other issue is that I wish I had more control over the widgets or that there was an option for shortcut widgets that could open anything on the Show 15. There is a widget for the two default Alexa lists of "shopping" and "to-do" but no widgets for my custom lists. I have a "grocery" list which I consider the most important because I have my unit mounted in my kitchen and I cannot add a widget for it to the main screen. Hopefully they add this in an update. Also, the Fire TV update is what made this device worth it for how and where i'm using it.
Thank you so much for this!!! The coat hanger stand is so simple. Made it in two minutes. Brilliant!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
This is pretty impressive. Love the cardboard one.
2:10 - U LITERALLY MADE MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER !!
BTW thanks for this video! Amazon are prioritising orders right now for "products customers need most" and tablet stands aren't one of them, which means my goods will arrive later than normal. This makeshift one is a good interim option till I wait for one to be delivered cos even if I have to wait 2wks for my order I still need a stand RIGHT NOW. This is a good fix till then!

I made the one at 2:06 in 5-10mins it's actually great haha! Made it from a cardboard box and I legit love it lol. The directions aren't the clearest ("like so, like so...") for instance, measuring "11cms across" can't be from anywhere, it should be from the middle of the card so it's 5.5cm from either side and equal when folded to how you cut it at the bottom. The diagonal lines on the bottom I cut in from 3cms down. It worked, it's great, and I love it. I'm painting it black lol, thanks!
This isn't wall street journal right?
Hanger was the best way for me! 👍
I am using the cardboard stand until the $20 stand I ordered from Amazon arrives. The cardboard stand is working so well that I might stick with it.

I made another one. This time I reinforced the bottom with Gorilla tape before cutting it out.
This is perfect the hanger idea literally took like 30 sec , thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this! I just made one out of the cardboard box hehe just need to design it 😁
Thank you hanger idea helped me without wasting time 😍
Tip: Use a banana stand as a headphone stand.
Wish I could think outside my little box like you. I adopted the egg carton. Perfect. 👍
Thanks Joanna, these were helpful. Oh, and ignore the negative comments, everyone needs some slack during these difficult times. Stay safe. From South Africa.
Ahhh!! That zoom app! That app is now where I take my classes.
I do the first one and it went amazing💗💗big love
I looked at these homemade stands and thought they were too much work, I seen the toilet paper and just took the cardboard part of it and cut two rectangle holes on the sides in the middle and this works good ty!
Why does everyone think this video is so bad? It’s just a fun thing to do during these tough times!

Ooh! Egg carton is my favorite!
Brilliant!
Thank you. Perfect. Works great!
Love it! Brilliant💜
The Lego one was so obvious I am mad that I didn't think of that one myself. Thanks a lot!
Good ideas to think outside the box....especially to cut down on mass consumption.... challenge ourselves to USE what we ALREADY have.
Nice 😄😄😄 👏🏽👏🏽 I’ll go with the LEGO one 🙂

*DO NOT* use an old device, especially an iPad for important/professional video calls!. The latest iPad 7's front camera is a measly 1.2 MP!

nice
This also works as a diy artist’s easel
I have a zoom call tomorrow and i font have a stand for my ipad :/ i am gonna try these thank youuu
We do it thank
Good
You are lovely and intelligent 👍
If you can afford to have a spare £300 - £1000 iPad lying around, then surely a £5 stand won’t bankrupt you? Maybe even push the boat out and get a protective case with built-in stand for £7
You damaged your iPad showing us an example of holding against objects in ur house
Why cut a square right in the middle of the cardboard? It's not an economical use of materials.
thanks😅
A few drop to the screen and there’s already cracks on the screen
omg int he beginning when she let the iPad fall smack dab ont he table i jumped out of my chair
Or Just take a surface , or you could Buy a case (seriously , it’s good for the device)
POV you don’t have a iPad case or you broke it
thanks alot for making this video i made a stand with the help of Legos

I watch every WSJ video but sometime they just release completely useless stuff.
To bad one third of the country has no cell service or internet. They need to start the rural cell tower authority like they did for old school phone.

Acts 2:17-21 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters and ITS will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Notice I added the (ITS) part cause you know some beings are not a male or female or some are just asexuals non-binaries and God would understand that! Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 7:13-14 The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Revelation 21:6-8 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Matthew 5:1-12 Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Why is WSJ always uploading stupid videos, can´t you just be like Bloomberg or CNBC, you are a news paper, remember? its OK to do things differently, but don´t do stupid things.

Andrew Dahl Chile iOS 13 can't run on anything older than the 6s. iOS 9 is the latest that can run on anything with an a5 chip, and apple did a terrible job optimizing it, so it runs terribly.
These videos are ridiculous. WSJ should be ashamed of posting them
What a waste of time, wsj. Disappointed
