    Hi there, Anyone else having issues with their Magic Mouse 2 on the new Mac Pro (2019)? It's pretty often that it disconnects or lags on my end. Reseting PRAM, SMC and reinstalling the system did not help. Any other suggestions?

    Hey hive mind, wonder if anyone knows any companies who buyback RAM. I purchased an OWC 128gb upgrade kit for my 6, 1 MP but never used it. Seems a waste for it to be sitting here. I know the US have loads of buyback companies - but struggling to find any in the UK. Cheers
