On: Apple expands Self Service Repair to Mac notebooks

[heartbreak]

If you have a fleet of devices you are probably big enough to insure the fleet via a traditional insurance company.

[sokoloff → heartbreak]

That insurance company is also going to [intend to] make a profit on that policy. Self-insuring lets you keep that profit (in exchange for fading the variance yourself).

(You also get the additional benefit of not having to deal with an insurance company over a claim. :) )
