Comcast is investigating what it calls an "isolated, malicious act" in which 30 seconds of pornographic content was aired during its telecast of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Corporate affairs manager Kelle Maslyn said the cable company has "some leads" and will "aggressively pursue" them "until we come to a resolution."

The incident affected only customers not watching the high definition broadcast. It's not known how many customers saw the porn clip, she said.

Comcast is offering $10 credits to any customer in Tucson "who was impacted," she said in a statement issued Monday afternoon. To get the credit, customers should call 888-315-8219.

Comcast has leads on porn clip - Tucson Citizen Morgue, Part 2 (1993-2009)

It's too late... we call this one pretty beeeg mistake!

What shocks me even more is that it ran for AN ENTIRE 30 SECONDS!!! That's very long if you happen to be the viewer or the person controlling the broadcast. What were they doing, sleeping? I think the fault lies directly with whoever controlled the broadcasting... time for a competency check!

EDIT: Ok, I just realised this: IS THAT THE SUPERBOWL???? OHH NOO!!!
How many people were watching? (that don't have HD that is)

Television is actually delayed by several seconds when something is live, for people in dark little rooms watching a lot of different screens wearing headphones to bleep naughty words and the like out.

How the holy hell did this one slip by that? o_O

It was only in Tucson and not HD. Prolly a few hundred people. (I don't know how big (populous) Tuscon is)

Still, that's a couple of hundred.

Sure, a couple of hundred's not a huge amount of people, but it's enough to cause some major headaches for Comcast!

If I'm right, it's against the Broadcasting rights to show images of explicit sexual content, so they're in for some trouble, accidental or not.

This was no accident, haha. This was obviously a prank, which pulled through pretty nicely. But still, its a shame for all of the people who don't want to see that.

Hah, after the clip ends:
"Went to the perfect guy in the perfect situation.."

Personally I would have picked a better clip. I mean, if you're going to do this you should go all the way. Like, a 9-dude pileup or something.

80,000 people just got paid for watching porn.

(Though it may not exactly have been the porn they wanted.)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
