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.)

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
