The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I was able to use an interface (just discontinued by the manufacturer, but mine is still functional) to attach my analog landline phone system to the internet.

Curious if that's the Obitalk ATA? I used one for quite a few years but eventually just shifted to using Gvoice directly from my desktop, once it became clear that Obitalk would just stop working at an unpredictable time.

Gvoice is one of the few Google products that hasn't been thoroughly enshittified, "AI"-ed, and/or cancelled yet, so I'm sure it's coming. Unfortunate - if they actually sold the service, I'd even pay for it. The only real drawback I've found is that a lot of financial institutions will not send 2FA codes to Gvoice.
