Liberty Safe did replace the key panel and all seems to be working fine. So at least they have decent support. Securam panels appear to be cheap trash though maybe I should buy a higher quality one at some point in the future.
I tend to hold onto and use stuff I buy forever. I like buying quality in general and I hold onto things to my own detriment because if it still works why replace it? I had a wireless router I bought in 2008. I used it until 2021 when I had a few more devices and was consuming the tiny bandwidth of the Target special I had purchased. I was absolutely stunned by the advancement in network software and device telemetry just being a native feature.
That said, I am currently replacing a number of things I use daily but are a decade old or even older. Like my garmin vivoactive 2 watch. I had a refurbished Kindle I bought in 2016 and have used every single day up until last week when I took the upgrade discount from Amazon for a new one. The 2025 version is a lot more responsive and great.
On my list.

On my list.
- Kindle -> Paperwhite 2016 replaced with Paperwhite 2025
- Vivoactive 2 -> Looking at Instinct 3 because the Vivoactive 6 looks gay and I like actual buttons.
- Buying quality glasses for once. I have normally just bought whatever from the nearby optometrist every 2 years for like $200. This time I am going to buy top dollar frames as I wear them every waking hour. (EyeJoy | Voted "Best of the Best" Austin Optometrist)
- Replacing my 15 year old Rainbow flip flops with... a new pair of Rainbow flip flops!
- Seriously I've tried a lot of flip flops and nothing beats Rainbow.
- I have 2 of these hoodies. They claim to be 10 year but my 5 year old one has torn elbows and frayed sleeves. I wear these every single day though.
- Going to try American Giant if they get any normal colors in. I like zipper hoodies only and Flint and Tinder has been the best one for me so far.
- Bought Danner boots as I like boots that are recraftable. Something easy to take advantage of in Texas because of the cowboy boot culture. Cobblers are actually very easy to find.
- Also bought some Double H cowboy style boot to go with my fancy ones I wear to the office or events.
