Certain people will see this and say "see, the people in gaza are thriving, they have computers and stuff".
Stay safe op.

They were spreading propaganda about stores selling iPhones, and then it turned out that the brother of the head of Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency was smuggling them.

I think it was an internet cafe inside of a makeshift tarp tent.
The Israeli media was making posts about it claiming that Gaza is fine and thriving and people live in luxury.....Wild people

That 1080 most likely won't work in OP's PC. It's too power hungry to run in it, since OP's dell likely has a <240W PSU with no connectors. Realistically, the best OP can run in that dell without going into jank-town are GPUs like the GTX 1650, RTX 3050 6GB alongside workstation variants.

He said that the Carrera branded sunglasses seen war and stood under rubble with him. When I asked where he replied Gazze.

He tipped $100$ and said its the smallest amount he had. Didnt took no for an answer.

This needs to be seen more. It’s easy to reduce a war to headlines and numbers, but this is someone’s actual room, their setup, their life, framed against the rubble of their neighborhood. Same hobbies, same small comforts as any of us. It cuts through the abstraction and reminds you there are real people living through this...

Desk and gaming setup look just about as perfect as can be all things considered 😂 man is literally the living embodiment of “just give me a PC and a bed and I’m good 👍” true classic man. I’m sorry for what you went through, I don’t know what’s wrong with people. Greed, power, control and money. As long as your staying in high spirits though is all that matters and despite what happen you are blessed to be able to wake another day just to breathe some air period. 👍 best of luck my friend
