I mean, if I saw a spider of that size, I’d probably want to kill it too, but with how hard Marv hits Harry, there are surely going to be some broken ribs. And honestly, if the hit was hard enough, Marv could have easily punctured a lung as well if the rib breaks into it. Pesci toldPeoplehe did have stuntpeople for "the real heavy stunts," but still dealt with "bumps, bruises, and general pains." This is the first time Pesci has publicly spoken of being burned by the flaming hat gag. In both films, McCallister unloads a world of pain on the criminals, Harry and Marv, the latter played by Daniel Stern. While stunt doubles were used for many scenes, Pesci said that some of the ones he did commit to were quite painful – namely, his head being set on fire. Although both bandits are dimwitted, Harry is often the brains of their team.

Harry and Marv finally realize that Kevin was also in New York after seeing the McCallister name on the back of the bag Kevin wore after leaving Duncan's Toy Chest. They chased him down the street, but were tripped up when Kevin broke some necklaces, stripping the pearls off. Coming back the next morning, Harry sent Marv to investigate the house, knowing something was up since the house seemed completely vacant, despite the uproaring event the night before. As he returned to Harry, a shaken Marv told Harry of the situation, and Harry saw it as an opportunity to turn in a murderer and avoid sentencing for their own crimes. Usually I’d place this as number one but at some careful analysis, the only reason I put this Home Alone 2 moment at two is because it is possible to survive getting electrocuted. I’m not sure of how much voltage was passing through his body but he would probably have enough electricity in him to power a home when that trap was done.

Hard Metal Pipe To The Head (Home Alone

Sometime in the mid-2010s, Harry's old friend Marv Murchins sent Harry a distress message from a darkened room, as Marv was terrified of the return of Kevin McCallister, who had recently taken a bloodthirsty vendetta against all home invaders. Harry Lyme was a burglar who, along with Marv Murchins, forming the "Wet Bandits" (later the Sticky Bandits"), twice had their plans foiled by Kevin McCallister. Harry later attempted to break into the McCallister home again years later, but Kevin deterred him with the Google Assistant.

After burning his right hand on the heated doorknob the letter "M" is visible on the hand and in New York also. As a burglar, Harry is shown to be more professional than Marv, arranging the thefts, casing the joints and having the say on what actions to take. Since he is 'the brains' he often does little of the thieving himself and let's Marv do the leg work, but will get his hands dirty when needed, like during the toystore heist. While he tries to keep more of a low profile and subtle style than Marv, he's not much more subtle than him, happy to cause destruction and hamfistdly grabbing swag or money as quickly as he can. This top five was so hard to make considering these are all horrible things to happen, but we’re starting out with this one.

Harry Lyme

And though we laugh at the antics of the bumbling Harry and Marv, and marvel at their bodies somehow surviving all the abuse doled out by a conniving Kevin, this Christmas, it will be hard to look at the burning hat of "Home Alone 2" exactly the same way again. Tom Hanks got a staph infection, which could haveturned deadly, from a cut on "Cast Away." Halle Berry broke two ribs filming "Bruised" when kicked by her co-star, a real MMA fighter. Natalie Portman dislocated a rib during "Black Swan."Isla Fishernearly drowned in a scene for "Now You See Me," in part because everyone on set thought she was just acting. In a new interview withPeople, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of "Home Alone 2," Pesci admits he did suffer "serious burns to the top of my head during the scene where Harry's hat is set on fire."

Harry and Marv then planned to put Kevin through the same torturous injuries that he put them through, but Harry would bite off all of Kevin's fingers, one at a time. However, just as he was about to do so, he and Marv were knocked out by Kevin's neighbor, Marley. As the police drove the bandits away, Harry glared at Kevin through his window. Today, we are talking about the top ten seriously bad or fatal injuries that Marv and Harry received. In the first movie, his character opens a door to the McCallister's home and a blow torch is activated, setting his beanie on fire.

Just how dangerous was the "Home Alone 2" set? Maybe not as rough as "Kill Bill"

I know that many people will probably think this isn’t that bad of an injury, but hear me out. At that speed, that could actually cause serious ruptures to happen to the testicular area, and probably cause some issues for his little swimmers down there. He would need serious medical attention if he wanted to -- cough -- use them again at some point.

As they drove up past a church, Harry, assumed Kevin went in, but not wanting to go into the church himself, gave up the search. Kevin turned out to be hiding in a nativity scene as a hooded shepherd, and he returned home, afterward. Harry finally manages to get Peter McCallister's attention and informed him that the police were checking houses around the neighborhood to make sure that everyone was taking the proper precautions against burglaries. Peter told Harry that they had locks on their doors and automatic timers for their lights. Harry started to ask Peter when his family would be leaving, but before he could, Peter was pulled into the kitchen by his oldest son, Buzz, to eat pizza.

As the police arrived to re-arrest Harry and Marv, Harry continuously kicked Marv for rambling to the police about their schemes. On Christmas Eve, while Harry and Marv robbed Duncan's Toy Chest, Kevin knocked on the window, took a photo, and threw a brick through the window, setting off an alarm. Marv and Harry both unknowingly jumped onto a plank and trash can set up as a makeshift see-saw which sent Harry flying through the air and landing on top of a car. A year later after spending nine months in prison, Harry and Marv escaped during a riot and soon arrived in New York while stowed away on a fish truck. They also acquired a revolver and street clothes, possibly by stealing them from the truck driver. The duo planned on getting a hold of false passports and hiding out in "some foreign country".

Unknowingly, Kevin bumped into Harry passing through a large group of pedestrians. Harry looked and thought he recognized Kevin, but Kevin had disappeared into the crowd before Harry could get a second glance. "It was way beyond what someone needs to do to make a movie," Burstyn said of "The Exorcist." He's far from the only actor to be injured while filming, but he's also not the only one to stay silent for a time. As an adult rewatching "Home Alone 2," you realize the robbers would never survive. "It's Christmastime and there's always a lot of burglaries around the holidays so we're just checking the neighborhood to see if everyone's taking proper precautions."

Harry’s Hand Is Burned To A Crisp (Home Alone)

Not only does the cement bag pick up speed as it’s hurdling down into the basement, it hits Marv completely on the head. Given the weight of it, his neck would likely snap in an instant, along with his spine. Near the end of Home Alone, Marv sees Buzz's Tarantula on Harry's chest and proceeds to beat hit him with a crowbar in an effort to kill it.

As shown in the first movie, when he gets security intel from the McCallister family disguised as a policeman. While he can be calm when the situation calls for it, he is shown to have a short temper. When said temper flairs too much or he gets hurt in a painful way imaginable, he's often reduced to swearing under his breath and speaking in gibberish. While he prefers to talk his way out of situations, he has no trouble resorting to violence should he find it necessary or if he gets angry enough.

If he somehow survived getting his head literally burned apart , he would never be the same. In the film, Pesci as Harry doesn't notice his burning head at first. He looks around, curious, exploring, as the flames shoot from the top of him like a human Roman candle.

She has been working for Guiding Tech since 2017 and has around five years of experience writing features, how-tos, buying guides, and explainers. Previously she worked as an IT Analyst at TCS, but she found her calling elsewhere. You can start off by saying, “Hey Google, let me talk to Akinator” and start answering its set of questions. This conveniently replaces the process of reaching out for your phone, searching for the timer and then setting it manually. To add a shortcut, simply tap on the Plus icon on your Google Home app and add your short phrases.

However, you’ll first need to link your Netflix account. In terms of functionality, the Home Mini and Nest Mini are identical. They answer all the same queries and commands, and they work with all of the same devices and apps. Unlike the Home Mini, the Nest Mini comes with a built-in wall mount. It also provides better sound, with improved bass response, although the physical speakers in both devices use 40mm drivers. Nest is a company that Google purchased and folded into their own line of smart devices.

The NandBug System

The content and structure of the NAND Flash will need to be understood. A exploit could be needed to bypass the secure boot. It's reducing the likelihood I can still discover something to exploit in it to bypass the secure boot on a Google Home Mini. Below are the specifications for Google Nest and Home speakers and displays . Join the Public Preview to try new Google Home app features early.

To add a music service to your Nest Mini's list of preferences, follow these steps on the Google Home app. Even if the Nest Mini is one of the best Smart speakers available right now and most of its features are pretty useful, sometimes, the device may get on your nerves. Now you can play music from your favorite music streaming app on all your Nest devices. But make sure you have all the speakers connected to the same network for this feature to work. But for the feature to work, you will need your phone and the Nest device to be connected to the same network. Also, the phone should be within striking distance from the router.

Listening to music

The pages addresses and data are received from the FT2232H using the Sync FIFO Mode. This bitstream implements a simple FSM that will read all pages of the NAND Flash one by one and stream them to the FT2232H using the Sync FIFO Mode. This section gives some information concerning the software and gateware architecture behind NandBug.

While all the executable data is apparently verified, having a total control on all the NAND Flash data does open a rather large attack surface. Extracting files from this image is just a matter of running the unsquashfs command. Overall, I'm quite happy with how NandBug is working.

Voice Match With Google

And as the name suggests, it is ideal for family events and activities. In the Home app dashboard, click and open the Add icon on the top left. You can also make the Nest Mini recognize individual voices by training the Google Assistant to do so. Let's start with how to make the Nest Mini recognize multiple members. You can also broadcast messages even while away from the Nest Mini by using the Google Home app.

Then proceed to select the devices you would like to add to the Group. To set up a Family bell, follow these steps on the Home app. Broadcast messaging is Google's way of group messaging with other Nest devices. The only requisite is to connect all the Nest devices to the same wireless network. Speak the words, and you shall have a shopping list in your hands in no time.

The simple file utility can be used against this image to reveal it's in fact a Squashfs filesystem. Please note the Kernel version, sources, initramfs and init.rc file will be useful in the second part of this series of article. The Linux Kernel version and compilation timestamp can be extracted from strings present in the binary data.

Pin your favorite devices to your home view to see multiple camera live streams right when you open the app. I personally find this combination of a FT2232H and ICE40HX1K-TQ144 to be quite interesting and versatile. However, please note that using both the SPI mode and Synchronous FIFO mode of the FT2232H requires adding a EEPROM to the BOM. This EEPROM contains configuration data for the FT2232H and can sometimes be omitted.

Engage and deepen learning opportunities through creative distance learning

In the Home tab, click and open the User icon on the top right corner of the app. After the initial excitement using the Google Assistant, one will grow weary of the necessity to start any command with the "Hey Google" trigger. Another nifty feature that lets you, the user, converse with the Google Assistant without needing to speak "Hey Google" every time is the Continued Conversation feature. Follow these instructions on the Google Home app to achieve the said feature. In the Home tab, click and open the Profile icon on the top right corner of the app. It is very similar to a broadcast message, minus the instant nature of the broadcast message since it requires setting up beforehand.

Depending on the routine you have selected, a trigger may be needed to start the routine. You could also create custom triggers, as I've mentioned above. To make a custom routine, go to the Routines tab and click on the "+" icon near the bottom of the screen. Choose the devices on which the Family Bell should play.

The Nest Mini is slightly smaller than the Home Mini, but the difference is minute enough that it barely matters. The Nest Mini also comes in slightly different colors. The touch controls and LED indicators are identical.

It appears that for each page, the OOB section is filled with a 90 bytes chunk of data. The first thing to note is that the way the data is written to a NAND Flash is somewhat special. Each page contains data and a special section called OOB, the out-of-bound section. Thanks to NandBug, it's now possible to easily dump the entire content of the NAND Flash. However, before even thinking of patching the firmware, making full sense of this dump is needed.

It could maybe have been useful to find interesting TOCTOU bugs in the secure boot implementation. Apart from attempting to run my own code of the Google Home, I guess this solution could also be used to keep track of all firmware updates performed by Google. Indeed, it's possible to let the device run normally for an extended period of time while dumping the entire flash content from time to time. Desoldering and soldering it back is easier said than done, especially considering I'll likely have to do it multiple times.

It's not absolutely necessary to read this section to understand the rest of the article. The connector can finally be hand-soldered to it, using a simple soldering iron. To help with the soldering process, I ordered a stencil at the same time with the Interposer PCB. The holes of the stencil are matching the NAND Flash footprint. As it must be soldered like a BGA component, I'll turn it into one by soldering tiny solder balls.

Throughout the entire duration of its activity, the company keeps its principles the same, mainly targeting better sound and reliability. And that’s why I did a detailed top Denon receivers review in order to choose the most appropriate option. The bass power does not match the high volume of the mid and high registers. Two presets with different sound settings can be stored in the receiver’s memory. The image is cinematic quality because of IMAX support.

Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

The Dolby Atmos processor recreates the recorded surround sound picture in Real-time, depending on the number of speakers utilized in the system. Speaker terminals and HDMI I/O are crucial for any receiver. The number of connectors for the connection of speakers depends directly on the power of the unit.

The AVR-S660H also works with Spotify, Pandora, and Tidal, plays Hi-Res audio PSM, and decodes DSD. I heard detailed, light, and spacious sounds during the movie test. The audio of the battle scenes seemed so realistic that I almost became a spectator of the story. In terms of Hi-Fi listening, I also got more than satisfactory results. Frequencies ranging from high to low sounded nice and clear.

60Hz frequency is ubiquitous in models, but you can find 120Hz only in models with HDMI 2.1 support. However, the 8K format is only gaining popularity. This resolution has four times higher image clarity than 4K. And it needs high HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to run at 60Hz. When I started testing the unit’s capabilities with a movie, a high-definition sound stage combined with spatial effects immediately surrounded me. Each action on the screen was accompanied by sound with appropriate positioning.

Both technologies provide complete immersion in sound systems but achieve it in different ways. And if you want to create a multi-room space, then you need features such as HEOS or Music Cast. Apple owners should pay attention to the presence of AirPlay or AirPlay 2.

In other words, it is the number of watts that are supplied to one channel. This is a delicate point that we must pay special attention to, as lack of power is one of the key factors that most affects the final perceived sound quality. As a result, I can say that the AVR-S660H demonstrates excellent power and dynamics for an entry-level receiver. Even if it reproduces music rather mediocre, it is in a home theater that it is possible to exploit its potential with the sound fully.

And, of course, the best Denon receiver cannot sound bad. The top-of-the-line AVR-X6700H comes with an 11.2-channel amplifier module. The power is 140 W/8 Ohm or 175 W/6 Ohm per channel, and I think such an impressive power will be enough to sound even a large room fully. And if you still use two different sets of speakers, then you can create a set of settings for each of them and switch between them. After minutes spent with the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 auto-calibration system and some manual fine-tuning, the Denon actively got down to business. It instantly grabbed my attention, and held it firmly for the duration of the test.

Denon S-101 Home Theater System DVD CD Player Subwoofer Z-919 ReAd

The second item to examine, in my opinion, is connection specifications. Premium models always feature a more significant number of digital and analog interfaces. For example, a few budget models are equipped with HDMI 2.1 for 8K video streaming with HDCP 2.3 protection. The same is true for wireless protocols, the more expensive the model, the newer technologies will be used there. Also, more expensive models are equipped with more different ports, making them more versatile than budget options. The sound quality is genuinely immersive due to the significant performance of 95 W at 8 Ohm or 125 W at 6 Ohm per channel.

I was surrounded by soft and mesmerizing music. I can summarize that Denon also excelled in music. The impression it made on me during the test is quite positive. It operates with a rich sound without unnecessary details.

Communication with external devices makes a home media center out of the receiver. The receiver setup process is unnecessarily complex. The sound of this model during testing was at a fairly high level. Separately, I was pleased with the dialogs, which took it to a new level. I assume that this was influenced by the Dialog Enhancer function to improve the dialogue sound.

When I listened to tracks, the X2700H also gave an excellent result. While there is a difference between CD tracks and streaming, the Denon AVR-X2700H does a pretty exciting job. It generates a dense sound “stage” in the room. However, the only drawback of this is the control of additional zones only with the help of the receiver’s UI. I would even say that the unit gives the effect of presence. It reproduces the entire frequency range well, from rich bass to squeaky high frequencies.

If you decide to play music with this 8K receiver, a useful feature of decoding Hi-Res audio files with sample rates up to 24 bits/192 kHz and DSD up to DSD128 will come in handy. All you have to do is download them over the network or via USB input. Maybe, the first feature that people look at when buying a new device. The more costly the AVR is, the more exquisite it appears to be. And this can be seen from the plastic of the front panel and other external details of the case. More expensive receivers are also distinguished by a reinforced frame, which serves as a mount for a heavy transformer.

The sound of this model during testing was at a fairly high level. Separately, I was pleased with the dialogs, which took it to a new level. I assume that this was influenced by the Dialog Enhancer function to improve the dialogue sound.

And as usual, I started the review by watching a movie. I should note that switching from Blu-ray player to TV caused unpleasant picture jerks. The testing unit produced a delightful, clean, and understandable sound, and the dynamics and detail were impeccable. However, as I can tell, the bass could have been a little more intense.

And like most similar models, it has Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDCP 2.3 support on all HDMI inputs. These are the questions unsophisticated buyers have. So please read on to answer them and make an informed choice. Of course, you will not become a professional in this area, but the basic aspects will become clear to you. Dolby Atmos does not allow the soundtrack to be captured channel by channel, but instead puts the sound objects in speakers in a room, as the sound engineer intended.

As for connectors, one of the X3700H’s seven inputs and two of its three outputs are full HDMI 2.1 connectors with support for 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz.

The DRA-800H offers five HDMI inputs and one HDMI output supporting 60Hz Full 4K Ultra HD video resolution with support for all the latest video technologies. There is also HDMI ARC, which ensures smooth sound transmission directly from the Smart TV to the receiver via a single HDMI cable. On the back of the Denon AVR-X1600H, there are five more HDMI ports and an ARC output.

And thanks to its excellent sound quality, this receiver can be called the best stereo Denon receiver for connoisseurs of high-quality music and vinyl. The Denon AVR-X1600H is an affordable classic 7.2 receiver with surround sound capabilities. It has all the valuable features and connections and offers enough power to meet modern standards. In addition, a powerful amplifier unit provides another function that is not available to some budget receivers – this is biamping.

Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

There is no way to control additional zones from the application. High-definition video streaming did not go smoothly, and sometimes to a complete lack of images. Virtual DTS/Atmos work creates an entire 3D sound stage.

Dialogues were quite naturally separated from the background. Denon DRA-800H is specially designed for stereo music lovers. When it comes to music, the functionality is excellent – listening to Hi-Fi on the Denon AVR-X1600H and listening to streaming music work very well. However, as soon as I increased the volume above average, distortion appeared and detail was lost. The sound is just as fantastic, crisp but less loaded with low frequencies than before.
