Updated

我們常常可能臨時需要用到遠端電腦,如果電腦關機的話,遠端軟體基本無法運作,但透過提前設定WOL,可以讓您在遠端也可以喚醒電腦。WOL(Wake-on-LAN)簡單來說是一種用另一台電腦或手機發送「魔法封包」(Magic Packet),以透過網路遠端啓動電腦的技術。一起來看看他的使用條件和設定步驟吧。

爲什麽你需要遠程啓動你的電腦

  1. 靈活工作與存取:大部分遠端工具都需要在電腦沒有關機、沒有休眠時才可以連接,突發工作時,可以遠端啓動電腦處理,無需親自到現場,同時減少電腦長期開機運作對硬體的影響,節省電力。

  2. IT管理與維護:企業可能需要定期批量遠端喚醒多台電腦進行更新、維護或故障排除。

  3. 保證資料安全:企業敏感資料存於本地電腦比存儲在雲端更安全,需要存取時可以遠端啟動電腦之後透過加密通道存取。

使用DeskIn設定WOL遠端啓動電腦需要什麽條件

  1. 正確設定:Windows電腦主機板需支援Wake-on-LAN(WOL),網路和路由器需正確設定。

  2. 裝置條件:要使用WOL局域網喚醒,需有一台運行 DeskIn 的裝置在同一局域網內來喚醒待開機的電腦。例如,其他電腦、iPhone、iPad、Android 設備(手機、平板等)均可用來協助運行 DeskIn。

  3. 系統條件:Linux 裝置不支援發送 WOL 封包,而 Mac 和 Linux 裝置不支持遠程開機。

  4. 狀態條件:處於藍屏或崩潰等異常關機狀態的Windows裝置不裝置遠程開機。

  5. 硬體條件:確保電腦主機板和網卡有支援 WOL功能——可透過查看主機板説明書、檢查網卡型號、聯絡產品客服等方式確認。

❗注意:大部分的筆電(尤其無線網卡)或是較舊的電腦(10年前的)不支援使用WOL,無線網路通常不支援,推薦使用有線網路。

💻若您是使用的筆電、無線網路,您還是可以使用DeskIn遠端軟體,只要完成簡單的無人值守連線設定,您的電腦就可以在遠端沒人的時候也可以連接,想用的時候隨時可用!立即下載DeskIn試試!

使用DeskIn遠程啓動你的Windows電腦的設定步驟

設定前,您可以透過下圖簡單了解DeskIn WOL遠端啓動的原理和流程,並提前在您的電腦上下載DeskIn,建議注冊一個帳號並登入,方便找到裝置:

DeskIn Wake on lan 遠端開機原理

步驟1:網卡設置

1) 在 Windows 上打開「裝置管理器」

2) 找到並展開「網路介面卡」選項。

3) 找到你的有線網卡如:Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller,右鍵,然後點擊「內容」。

4) 在下一個窗口中,導航至「電源管理」選項卡,並勾選「允許此設備喚醒計算機」

WOL設定-找到網卡選項

5) 切換到「進階」選項卡,找到「關機喚醒局域網」和「喚醒魔法包」。點擊右側面板的值下拉菜單,然後選擇啟用。

 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.

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.

 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.
