Considering that this happened even once, I'll never update to a driver that hasn't been out for at least a few weeks. If Win10 doesn't give me that option, then it's a no go from the start.

of when I was in high school in the mid 90s. Thankfully I didn't have to deal with criminal charges however.
Back when computer classes were still a new thing in high schools, I was attending introduction to computers for my first period. We'd all come in and turn on the computers and watch them boot up Windows 95.
These computers had a virus scan set to run during boot up, and on that particular day, it had found a virus. I waved the teacher over and pointed it out.
From that point on I was forbidden to take any computer classes in high school ever again.
I can already imagine how many times someone will lose their phone, then remotely break it only to find it later and hassle customer service to fix it.
Putting that aside, I just can't see this kind of security being useful or reducing actual thefts very much. I can't imagine there won't be a way to disable, remove, or otherwise bypass this remote wipe in some way.
There goes that argument.
I don't think the length of copyright impedes creativity at all. Once something is in the public domain it's free to use in whole unchanged. Where's the creativity in that?
It's overly restrictive fair use rules that impede creativity. Allow a copyright holder to own their property perpetually should be fine, but loosen fair use laws so that things can be used and built upon.
smartphones are all but the norm anymore
Then it appears you disagree with some other Slashdot users who have told me that smartphones are a luxury, not a necessity. The only necessity is an $80/year dumbphone in case of urgencies, and that's only because payphones are being removed. But I'm willing to consider your arguments as to why a smartphone is a necessity.
There was no usage of the words necessity or luxury in the post you were replying to. Something being "the norm" or not isn't related to whether or not it is deemed a necessity.
