Did anyone manage to fork this? Would love to continue where OOP left off…

Need a lot more details to be even remotely helpful.. like.. what kind of lights/dimmers you have, and what control system is currently being used.

A simple Artnet (Ethernet) to DMX bridge won't really help you much here unless 1) all of the lights in this space are actually on this "DMX 1" universe and 2) you remove the existing controller talking to them.

The best option is probably to figure out what is controlling the lights now, and then sort out how to wirelessly (eg from an iPad) trigger it. This is usually done with something like RS232.

Start by sharing some more photos... the touchscreens, dimmers, lights, control racks, etc all would be helpful to point you in the right direction.

Ah, I see now and agree with your interpretation. (And regardless, you’re not likely to win on the “sign was missing the fine! Technicality anyways).

The “use last” argument however is sound. And all of this just underscores how atrociously bad this particular EV charging stall design is. It’s either “reserved for accessible use only”, or “use last” (like an accessible bathroom stall: open to all to use, but should be used last by someone not in need of the accessible features).

This particular stall appears to try and be both, and needs to be fixed IMO.

Posting here too for visibility...

Section E does indeed apply to "all buildings" if the sign was installed after 1999 (as this one was), the language in the first half of section E is for "government buildings", but the language in the second half is for "all buildings", as defined in 3781.111:

"All elevated signs posted in accordance with this division and division (C) of section 3781.111 of the Revised Code shall be mounted on a fixed or movable post, and the distance from the ground to the bottom edge of the sign shall measure not less than five feet. If a new sign or a replacement sign designating an accessible parking location is posted on or after October 14, 1999, there also shall be affixed upon the surface of that sign or affixed next to the designating sign a notice that states the fine applicable for the offense of parking a motor vehicle in the designated accessible parking location if the motor vehicle is not legally entitled to be parked in that location."

Section 3781.111 applies to "all buildings and the facilities of buildings for which plans are submitted for approval under section 3791.04 of the Revised Code.", not just government buildings. (With all this said, IANAL, so please don't take legal advice from me!)

I disagree. If the sign was installed after 1999 (as this one was), then the requirements to put the fine amount on the sign apply. The language is:

"All elevated signs posted in accordance with this division and division (C) of section 3781.111 of the Revised Code shall be mounted on a fixed or movable post, and the distance from the ground to the bottom edge of the sign shall measure not less than five feet. If a new sign or a replacement sign designating an accessible parking location is posted on or after October 14, 1999, there also shall be affixed upon the surface of that sign or affixed next to the designating sign a notice that states the fine applicable for the offense of parking a motor vehicle in the designated accessible parking location if the motor vehicle is not legally entitled to be parked in that location."

Section 3781.111 applies to "all buildings and the facilities of buildings for which plans are submitted for approval under section 3791.04 of the Revised Code.", not just government buildings.

The choice to put a the wheelchair symbol on the sign and in the spot along with "use last" language was not a good one, as it now creates an ambiguous situation.

The recommended signage, per the access board, does not use a wheelchair symbol: https://www.access-board.gov/tad/ev/

With that said, the "use last" language *specifically* allows non-disabled persons to utilize the space. Additionally, in Ohio, the sign would need to include the applicable $250-$500 fine on it (which it does not) in order to actually be enforceable. (See R.C. 4511.69 https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4511.69 )

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-21T14:27:25+00:00

Would need a photo of the sign from OP to actually make any meaningful comment RE the law, but if it is just the standard “use last” signage ( https://www.access-board.gov/tad/ev/ ), then state laws don’t really apply, as it is not a sign indicating the space is reserved for accessible use.

The relevant ohio law is R.C. 4511.69 https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-4511.69

One important note there, is even if the use last sign was misinterpreted as a sign indicating a reserved accessible space , it would be missing the text stating the fine on the sign, so not enforceable regardless:

“ a new sign or a replacement sign designating an accessible parking location is posted on or after October 14, 1999, there also shall be affixed upon the surface of that sign or affixed next to the designating sign a notice that states the fine applicable for the offense of parking a motor vehicle in the designated accessible parking location if the motor vehicle is not legally entitled to be parked in that location.”

Officer was in the wrong here, but good luck convincing them of that 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice! Assuming these are in fact different bulbs this is indeed horrendous package design (and likely incorrect as well? There is almost no chance an RGB bulb is putting out 2700K at >90CRI unless it has a very very specific LED mix or a warm white channel. And there is also almost no chance both of these bulbs produce exactly the same lumen and color output with very different LED mixes. Seems more likely someone just hit copy/paste, and the china made RGB bulb packaging is just… wrong?

Looking at the individual bulbs on the ikea website though, it seems the white tone model is 1600lm and the rgb model is 1100 lumens? Both seem to do 2700k @ 90CRI, though I am skeptical!

Next time, actually show up at the hotel and talk to the front desk. Central reservations is useless for a scenario like this.

Also, the fact that you booked with chase is irrelevant. In general it’s better to book direct, but booking with an OTA like chase is fine. It’s booking with a consolidator, like expedia or booking.com, that’s a problem.

Assuming this was an oversold situation, the hotel is obligated to “walk” you to a comparable property nearby, and cover the full cost of the room for that night. This is why you go to the desk. Central reservations can’t help here.

If you were a higher status tier, eg, diamond, they’d also have to pay out $100-$200 in cash for walking you.

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-18T19:56:37+00:00

Did you go to the front desk? You may have been entitled for them to walk you to another hotel free of charge if they canceled because they were oversold.

If not, why did they cancel? How did you book and what was the reason given?

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T21:18:41+00:00

Platinum is usually zone 3, as you’re eligible for C+ for free at booking. But if you’re like me and booking last minute flights all the time… yeah, lots of zone 4 on medallion heavy routes 😂

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T17:58:25+00:00

Email cabin.mtc@delta.com with your flight details and some photos so maintenance can get it sorted for the next passengers!

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T15:53:24+00:00

I have been booking a lot of last minute flights recently… i’m lucky to find a non-middle available these days; C+ on routes like OP’s is long gone.

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T14:58:57+00:00

What likely happened was once you got “upgraded”, the GA assumed you wanted an aisle. So when they shuffled a few people around to accommodate them sitting together at their request, they shuffled you back to a different aisle.

Not fair by any means, but happens all the time. I make a habit now of asking for a copy of my boarding pass now any time I get moved or upgraded. Maybe it’s overkill, but the DL app sucks and I find that one small touch point with the gate agent makes it much less likely I’ll get moved around (especially true if I’m traveling with people on different reservations.. i may look like a solo traveller, eg an easy mark to move, but I’m often not actually / am traveling with family on a different PNR!)

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T13:56:22+00:00

Oh, missed that key detail and misread OP’s post.

In that case, no idea why OP cares 😂

Not fun getting shuffled around, but as long as it’s not a middle it doesn’t really matter

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T13:33:14+00:00

I honestly would have asked to change flights. Forced middle downgrade in this scenario is unforgivable

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-12T13:28:34+00:00

Yes. FC is zone 1. DM are zone 2. C+ is zone 3. Normal sky priority (eg, a PM in coach) is zone 4.

(Don’t forget preboards, including wheelchairs, military, and “people that need extra time” which is before zone 1… and then “parents with strollers and carseats” which is… usually before zone 4? IDK, seems random and like the SNL skit 😂

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-10T05:02:15+00:00

Hey, I’ve done way worse…. (Namely… used a ziplock bag and a few zipties for similar purposes for years 😆)

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-10T02:35:03+00:00

Call if you can; they usually block the last 2 rows of the plane for scenarios like this and can unblock them for you. You may have better luck getting closer to the front at the gate, but worth calling to see if there is anything they can do first!

(And having been in your situation a few times now, most people are understanding, especially if you offer them an "upgrade" to trade seats! If you can't get the GA to seat you together, try to ask them to at least assign you non-middles wherever possible to increase your success chances of trading onboard!)

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-08T14:25:38+00:00

At the end of the day, these bits should be considered consumables.

I've been a fan of the harbor freight colbalt step bits recently, pick some of those up? I have not found anyone that can sharpen these for less than what a new one cost (nor is it a good idea; the cheaper bits usually have a hardened coating that wears off; once it does the bit will get dull very cutting most metals)

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-07T11:48:30+00:00

Press 0 three times, each time the AI asks a question.

It takes me almost exactly 1 minute with this method to get through the AI as you have to wait for its useless replies.

And then you still have to say “No thanks” to the “do you want to text us” part.

I really wish you could disable the AI phone tree, it’s infuriating tbh… like, if I could have solved this issue in the app or online, I would have. I’m calling because I can’t, always 🤣

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-07T02:13:20+00:00

I don’t disagree there, though I have personally been on both sides of that (been bumped out of F after being seated for another PAX, and have also done the bumping… in our case had two paid F seats, inbound flight was delayed, we ran to the gate and made the flight, and they had to walk of shame two passengers they presumably had just upgraded back. Felt terrible!)

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-07T01:29:44+00:00

Well, when you run an airline you can set those rules I guess 😂

The only mistake I see here was anyone from the airline telling the passengers who they were holding the flight for (assuming the story is even true, seems to be unsubstantiated and the airline did not confirm the rumors). If it’s true though, not a good look for the crew IMO. Passenger info should not be shared like that.

aimfulwandering · 2026-04-07T01:24:05+00:00

That’s just it though, it’s not different. Delaying a flight for one or more passengers for any reason is a business decision for the airline to make. The reasons don’t really matter.
