Apple Releases macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Supplemental Update for 2018 MacBook Pro Models

Yes, I have frequent bluetooth Magic Mouse disconnects. I've tried changing batteries, removing/adding the device, and even using a different Magic Mouse. I'm hoping this firmware update addresses that. If not, looks like I should start a support ticket to get it on their radar.

One thing I’ve noticed when that happens to me is that it’s another Bluetooth device with a low battery that’s causing the problem, usually my keyboard. You might see if there’s something close by that needs charging or new batteries.

Not really. Typically hovers around 63-65 degrees celsius, but what is interesting is that it was holding it's turbo speed of 3.3-3.5ghz all day even though I wasn't really doing anything to push it, or doing anything that would require it to "turbo boost" (like opening apps). I just had the same 6 Windows Apps open, and 2 mac apps, and the processor speed just stayed pinned at like 3.4ghz. It was odd, but appreciated.

Fans stayed at around 2800 most of that time. So the fans weren't that audible and it was running (and holding) at 1.2ghz faster than the rated speed.

Will watch it again today to see if yesterday's results are confirmed or were a fluke.

Well that's really good to hear. When there's not really any load (like just web browsing, no monitors attached, etc) what is the temperature you're seeing?

Oh, I have this too, but I was blaming the mouse! Didn't realise others had this problem as well. FWIW, since the update I had no disconnects, but I only used the mouse for perhaps an hour in that time.

Purely anecdotal, but some techs at my work were saying that they were having random Macs on 10.13.6 with TouchBars hanging on boot. Progress bar would be stuck, touchbar button not yet booted up, and it'd just hang. Safe Boot to clear caches would fix it for a day. Common thread was that they were bound to a large AD forest and clearing specifically the opendirectory cache seemed to alleviate temporarily... will be hopeful this addresses it because we won't be leaping onto Mojave day 1... more like day 180!
