I realized that our countries have completely different mentalities. In Russia, if a thief climbs over my fence and gets trapped or electrocuted, I'm to blame unless I can prove they attacked me with a weapon. A large, barking dog usually discourages anyone from entering your property at night.Pretty much same thing in the USA. Even if an intruder is armed, traps of any sort used against people are illegal. Dogs can be good but if a robbery is well planned thieves will often toss them a piece of meat loaded with drugs to silence them. You are allowed to shoot them only if: a. They are inside your home or business AND b. They are armed AND c. You can prove they were threatening you with the weapon AND d. They were not trying to escape when you shot them Gettin back on-topic, I take it no one remembers the uproar many years ago when Bitmain tried to offer their firmware with not only tracking but also remote 'bricking' functions? Privacy freaks went totally bonkers & screamed bloody murder over the thought of it so Bitmain soon dropped the tracking and remote shutdown features. That served as a lesson to other miner makers and to this day none have ever tried offering it again. well one of them mentioned by the op was an avalon. the gear was not high earning top notch gear.
