Advertising has never worked on me, if I buy a product I was going to buy it anyway. I look at a product for exactly what it is, and not what a manufacturer promises it is, as such I’ve basically turned off any and all means for any entity to advertise towards me, after all I didn’t consent to seeing your shitty flashy banner ads, why should you have a say in whether I see it or not

I can drive a manual yeah, I don’t feel like I’m in total control when driving an automatic, I’m 20 and live in the Netherlands

It looks like a screen grab from yuru camp

Sync doesn’t have posting yet though

I know that they’re different handhelds I’m not that stupid, I just tend to confuse their libraries

May have gotten them confused then idk, I don’t use my vita for much other than emulation and unofficial ports of Android games so idk much about its actual library past the list of my games my girlfriend has put on them (she’s more of a playstation person, I personally am more on the 3ds camp)

That it’s a great handheld that unfortunately doesn’t have much of its own Identity, what it does have is effectively a mobile PS2 library, which is really fucking cool

People calling every type of fuel “gas”, i.e., people gassing up their “diesel”, they know they’re supposed to use diesel but they call it gas anyway, WHYYY

Google isn’t perfect, no company is, just because a big company has made the OS on your phone that doesn’t mean it’s impenetrable, especially if it’s (over) 5 years old like android 8 and 9 are, security issues that exists in these versions of Android are not going away

Your best bet is to get a pixel 6a and flash CalyxOS on it, there is no way you’re getting a modern brand new phone (which is what I gathered from other comments), with these requirements. Calyx gets rid of everything you’d call “more garbage”, comes with all the tools you’d need for a secure phone and allows you to disable access to hardware such as the microphone and camera. I also read you didn’t want custom ROMs.

Here’s the deal, any phone made by a company with more employees than two is going to have some sort of data collection in it, if you want a phone that doesn’t have any, either get a Linux phone (which won’t do anything you want it to) or a pixel with a security and privacy oriented rom on it. Some other options are lineageOS, comes with opt-in data collection, not opt-out, has years of security updates and supports a great deal of modern phones, doesn’t come with Google apps by default and if you want, you can disable internet access to apps individually, grapheneOS also exists, similar to CalyxOS. If none of this is good enough for you, then idk what to tell you, but you’re not going to find what you’re looking for exactly.

The modern android world can’t give you a high end 16:9 60hz phone with 2gb of ram, no front camera and 8 hours of screen on time and official security and feature updates for 8 years, that’s simply not how it works anymore, you can say you want something like that, but unless you make it yourself it’s not going to appear out of thin air.

I hope this post wasn’t too rude, but with requirements like these you’re setting yourself up for disappointment, I made this post to make you realise how impossible this actually is.

Oh and for DS games, crazy idea, buy a DSi and install unlaunch on it, it’ll launch any DS game you want and it’ll cost you 40 USD at most
