忘掉過去對暑假的傳統印象吧。如今的暑假,不再是無所事事的睡懶覺或隨意打發時間,也不再是暫時逃避社會責任的空窗期,而是年輕世代重新定義「責任」與「自我成長」的黃金時機。他們並非遠離學習,而是進入一種更自由、融合探索、休息與創造的全新模式。

對現代年輕人而言,暑假一開始,他們就積極利用多出來的時間重新找回熱情、拾回學期中暫停的興趣,並重新投入那些對自己最重要的人與事。從參與創意、文藝、到不離開社區的深度小旅行,他們展開一種全新節奏的生活——與學術努力同樣有意義,但更加個人化。提升自我而不耗竭

追求成長,不必燃燒殆盡

雖然仍有人夢想著在海灘邊度過整個夏天,但愈來愈多年輕人選擇了不同的方式。對這一代來說,「自由」不代表「閒散」,而是有意義的選擇。

有些學生投入線上選修或小眾課程,如劇本寫作、日語、用戶體驗設計或遊戲開發——這些是他們學期間無法安排、卻長久渴望探索的領域。也有學生接案接單、創辦創意專案,甚至在晨間訓練與深夜通話之間嘗試創業點子。

暑假不代表暫停生產力,而是一種以更緩步調、更有方向的方式,重新構思什麼是真正的「生產」。

「刻意」的離線時光

沒有人真的把手機丟進大海,但確實有些使用習慣正在改變。學生們不再刻意避開科技,而是更有意識地選擇何時、如何使用它。

現在的早晨,可能是騎腳踏車而非滑手機開始。一些學生開始接觸底片攝影、素描創作,或與爺爺奶奶一同園藝。這些遠離螢幕的緩慢時光,不只是為了放鬆,更是生活節奏的重整,是穩定日常的核心。

他們並非遠離科技,而是更清楚知道科技該扮演什麼角色,該在什麼時候進場。

進化的遊戲體驗

遊戲依然存在於學生的生活中,但他們對遊戲的看法與使用方式已經改變。它不再是封閉房間裡與能量飲料相伴的馬拉松對戰,而是成為社交儀式、創意出口與充電的方式。

白天快速來一局《Valorant》,晚上以《模擬市民 4》建造放鬆空間,深夜則與遠在地球另一端的老朋友一起在《英雄聯盟》中團戰——這些都是遊戲的新樣貌。

遊戲成為串連彼此情感的數位營火,在城市、時區與人生階段各異的假期中,依然能讓小圈圈聚在一起。

這就是新世代的暑假

現代學生不再在「休息」與「進取」之間做選擇,他們正創造出能兼容兩者的暑假。他們重新詮釋這段時光,讓它成為慢節奏的早晨、即興創作的午後,以及跨時區連結的深夜聚會。

或許,一天的開始是在陽台寫日記,中午在咖啡館剪輯遊戲片段,深夜則與老朋友一起線上打 Boss。這樣的生活方式,既不僵化,也不漫無目的,而是有意識的安排

因為對這一代人來說,「自由」不代表完全脫線,而是知道何時連線、為何連線——這,才是真正的掌握。

 Someone Accessing Your Phone Remotely

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones hold everything — personal messages, photos, financial accounts, and more. But what happens when someone is accessing your phone remotely without your knowledge?

This guide explains how to tell if your phone is being accessed remotely and how to stop someone from accessing your phone remotely, whether you're using Android or iPhone.

How to Tell if Someone Is Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Here are the top signs that your phone might be remotely hacked or monitored:

1. Unusual Phone Behavior

Apps open by themselves, settings change without input, or your screen flickers — these are signs of unauthorized remote control.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

 1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps

    Remove Suspicious Apps to Stop Remote Phone Access


  • Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize

  • Uninstall them immediately


 2. Change All Your Passwords

  • Update your phone lock screen password

  • Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts

  • Use complex and unique passwords for each platform


 3. Check Google or Apple Devices

  • On Android:
    Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices

  • On iPhone:
    Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices

  • Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

    Signs Your Phone Is Being Accessed Remotely And How to Stop It


 4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

 7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Final Thoughts

If you're worried that someone is accessing your phone remotely, it's critical to act fast. Early signs like fast battery drain or unknown apps can be your first warning. Follow the steps above to stop remote access on Android or iPhone and keep your digital life secure.

Make Work Fun Again with Playful Work Design

Playful Work Design: Turning Routine Jobs Into Joyful Wins

We’ve all heard the phrase “Work Hard, Play Hard.” It’s a motto that’s especially popular among those born in the 80s and 90s — a generation that believes serious effort deserves serious fun.

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

Boost Productivity with Playful Work Design

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

  • Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)

  • Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

In fact, Petelczyc et al. (2018) note that “play at work” promotes engagement, positive emotion, and strong internal drive. Meanwhile, Csikszentmihalyi (2020) — the man behind the famous Flow Theory — supports this by saying that play fuels motivation and personal well-being.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

  • Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs

  • Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables

  • Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds

  • Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU:

  1. Top 5 Secure Remote Desktop Option in 2025

  2. The complete guide to sharing your Iphone to Ipad

  3. How to connect Mac to PC for remote desktop screen share

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

  • Share ideas

  • Collaborate on problem-solving

  • Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.

Remote Work? Make Play Part of the Plan

“But what if we’re not in the office?”

Great question.

Playful work design can absolutely happen in remote or hybrid teams — especially with platforms like DeskIn.

7 Best Streaming Apps for Gamers in 2025 (Built for Beginners)

Want to share your epic gameplays live but don’t know which app to use? You're not alone.

More and more gamers want to stream their sessions—whether it’s to grow a following, entertain friends, or even start a side hustle. But with so many streaming apps out there, choosing the right one can feel like sorting inventory in survival mode.

I’ve been in the game (literally) for over a decade, and I’ve tested all the popular options. In this post, I’ll walk you through the 7 best streaming apps for gaming in 2025—what makes them great, who they're for, and how to start, Let’s jump right in.

7 best streaming apps for gaming

1. Twitch

Twitch is still the go-to for most streamers—and for good reason. With a massive audience and deep integration with gaming culture, Twitch lets gamers interact in real time, build loyal communities, and even monetize their channels through subscriptions and Bits. Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

  • Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.

  • You can grow fast if you're consistent.

  • Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

  • Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.

  • Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).

  • Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy to invite your friend list.

  • Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.

  • Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

  • No setup needed—just click “Go Live.”

  • Works well for collabs, hangouts, or coaching sessions.

  • Quality audio/video even on slower connections.

5. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a broadcasting app built on OBS but with a much more user-friendly interface. It provides overlays, donation tools, and widgets that make your stream look pro with minimal effort. Whether you're streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, this tool makes your setup smoother. For streamers who want customization, it ranks among the best stream apps for gaming.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy setup with built-in themes & overlays.

  • Supports multistreaming.

  • Integrated widgets (chat, alerts, donation).

  • Cloud sync & performance analytics

6. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is the industry standard for professional streamers. It offers full control over scenes, audio mixing, filters, and transitions. Though it has a steeper learning curve, its power is unmatched. For those who want flexibility and top-tier quality, OBS is one of the best stream apps for gaming used by esports pros and content creators alike.

Why It's Great:

  • Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.

  • Open-source software for live streaming and recording.

  • Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

7. Kick

Kick is a newer streaming platform that’s quickly gaining traction due to its creator-friendly policies and high revenue share. With a simple interface and fewer restrictions than other platforms, Kick is ideal for those who want a fresh start. It might still be growing, but it deserves a spot on any list of the best stream apps for gaming in 2025.

Why It's Great:

  • 95/5 revenue split (yes, really).

  • Simple interface, no weird algorithm stuff.

  • Chill vibe and growing fast.

Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

  • Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.

  • You can grow fast if you're consistent.

  • Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

  • Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.

  • Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).

  • Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

  • Easy to invite your friend list.

  • Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.

  • Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

  • Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.

  • Open-source software for live streaming and recording.

  • Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

 Someone Accessing Your Phone Remotely

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones hold everything — personal messages, photos, financial accounts, and more. But what happens when someone is accessing your phone remotely without your knowledge?

This guide explains how to tell if your phone is being accessed remotely and how to stop someone from accessing your phone remotely, whether you're using Android or iPhone.

How to Tell if Someone Is Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Here are the top signs that your phone might be remotely hacked or monitored:

1. Unusual Phone Behavior

Apps open by themselves, settings change without input, or your screen flickers — these are signs of unauthorized remote control.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

 1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

  • Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps

    Remove Suspicious Apps to Stop Remote Phone Access


  • Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize

  • Uninstall them immediately


 2. Change All Your Passwords

  • Update your phone lock screen password

  • Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts

  • Use complex and unique passwords for each platform


 3. Check Google or Apple Devices

  • On Android:
    Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices

  • On iPhone:
    Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices

  • Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

    Signs Your Phone Is Being Accessed Remotely And How to Stop It


 4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

 7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Final Thoughts

If you're worried that someone is accessing your phone remotely, it's critical to act fast. Early signs like fast battery drain or unknown apps can be your first warning. Follow the steps above to stop remote access on Android or iPhone and keep your digital life secure.

Make Work Fun Again with Playful Work Design

Playful Work Design: Turning Routine Jobs Into Joyful Wins

We’ve all heard the phrase “Work Hard, Play Hard.” It’s a motto that’s especially popular among those born in the 80s and 90s — a generation that believes serious effort deserves serious fun.

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

Boost Productivity with Playful Work Design

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

  • Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)

  • Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

In fact, Petelczyc et al. (2018) note that “play at work” promotes engagement, positive emotion, and strong internal drive. Meanwhile, Csikszentmihalyi (2020) — the man behind the famous Flow Theory — supports this by saying that play fuels motivation and personal well-being.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

  • Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs

  • Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables

  • Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds

  • Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

  • Share ideas

  • Collaborate on problem-solving

  • Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.

Remote Work? Make Play Part of the Plan

“But what if we’re not in the office?”

Great question.

Playful work design can absolutely happen in remote or hybrid teams — especially with platforms like DeskIn.
