...Modern OSes store the bulk of your data in the cloud...

I like the idea of an OS with a built-in dead switch, but non of the modern operating systems I use are storing the bulk of my data in the cloud. So, this dead switch will require my heir to have physical access to my disk, at least until cloud-based filesystems are much more common.
