Please tell me you're stripping EXIF tags from all images; otherwise this is just a "rob these people now" list.

I wish cameras wouldn't default to include location data. Most people don't even know pictures can include that type of info. It really should be an opt-in feature.

Soooo... everybody's a neat freak with a Ph.D. in cable management.

You see the same principle behind people's Instagrams. People shoot, re-shoot and meticulously edit their uploads so they're as flawless as possible. I think Reddit has something called 'r/shittybattlestations' as a joke sub to counter the deluge of samey "minimal IKEA desk w/ hyper-expensive equipment" content on the main subs.

If anyone's really into "setups", I'd highly recommend checking out usesthis.com. There's some great discussion on why people like certain tools, and some high-profile people on there from all walks of tech life (writers, podcasters, musicians, mechanical engineers). Here's a few of my favorites:
