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

It's very likely the front viewport failed, causing the entire vessel to depressurise and instantly crumple, killing everyone inside instantly. Chances of survival are improbable at best

Yeah absolutely, I've been playing Farming Simulator since FS2013, when it came out I was 11. An 11 year old kid with ADHD doesn't have much patience so naturally I didn't do anything in the game properly, I just cheated my way through to get the biggest equipment I could. Now that fs22 released at the end of 2021 and I'm kind of burned out on it (just a little) I wanted to go back to how things started off for me and I'm actually enjoying the game again, playing how it was originally intended. Buying all the equipment when actually working hard for it is so much more satisfying than cheating everything in. I'm actually appreciating how simple but still really fun the game used to be, and how much work actually went into this release.
