Reply to comment by joeyicecream in Activation Lock is a great feature, but needs a rethink as 2020 Macs are turned into landfill by hugglenugget
Why would you remote wipe a mac? Either they send it back to their IT department for wiping or the laptop is being declared lost.
Hell you don’t remote wipe macs at all cause if the user isn’t an admin, incompetent or something going wrong with partitioning theres nothing anyone can do cause I can’t remote into the computer.

Ok I was a bit wrong in my understanding of the issue. If you read the article it says that you wipe the Mac and then it twitters unlocking at the next setup. Big corps are wiping them and selling them off in large batches.
When the refurbishing company gets them and tries to set them up they’re unable to get past that step.
Even a step beyond that I prefer that hard drives are totally destroyed depending on what the device was used for.
