Hey Simon Binder here's my https://www.isidorakatanic.com/post/trend-alert-my-wfh-setup-5-tips

Quick Privacy Reminder: While sharing your room photo is fun and motivating and give us energy that we are not alone and also gives us idea of how to make our room to be cool like yours. Be careful, that your personal data and private information won't be shared by accident in picture things you have to be careful of:
Sticky notes: If there is sticky note with your username and password on them or any important information, it could gives hacker a good chance of hacking.
Your Screens: make sure you don't open codes or any sensitive data and make sure to just have public screen on them. Bing is good example since has nice picture (but make sure you are sign out of Microsoft Account in Bing) and then take photo.
Your lifestyle: You might hang out interesting poster or favorite books and it is fun to see them, but cybercriminals also looking for such pictures to abuse it for social engineering.
We already observe cases, where cybercriminals are looking pictures and profile to find something and do their crimes. So be careful and take cautions while sharing photo online and public. They will download pictures and zoom it and expand quality to find something interesting.
MicrosoftReza_Ameri-Archived also to add, be mindful of what's outside your window when sharing pictures! I've seen instances where people can easily identify where someone lives simply due to identifying what's directly outside their window.
April_Gittens Thank you for your comment, you are right about outside windows, there are number of number of ways where we could identify users' location and it is also important consideration.
