    I need a bluetooth 4 usb dongle for Mojave

    Hello guys. I am running Mojave on a MacBook Pro mid 2010. I am looking for a bluetooth 4 usb dongle because my MacBook Pro is not supporting bluetooth v4. I am using a magic keyboard 2 and a Magic Trackpad 2 and the trackpad has some issues so I want to try to use them with bluetooth 4. Thank you!

    Unpairing ATV 4K Siri remote? Use Harmony instead.

    I would like to unpair the Siri remote and pair a Harmony smart hub remote instead. The Apple TV 4Ks three Bluetooth limit is why I'd like to free up that slot. I'm using Zwift and the bike trainer + heart rate monitor take up two Bluetooth slots.
