Clamshell goes to iPhone and iPad! This is an iOS version of the Clamshell app. It provides monitoring states of all your Macs from your iPhones and iPads that are signed in to the same iCloud account. Clamshell now supports sharing the laptop lid statuses and system statuses (Awake, Sleeping, Logging out, Restarting, Shutting down, Restarted, Shut Down, User Logged Out, App Terminated). More statuses will come in the year. No data is shared with third-party providers. Clamshell is not using any external servers but only Apple's iCloud servers. You're in full control of your data! Note for users of iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro: Clamshell is useful for you finally! Use it to monitor statuses of your Mac desktops remotely from iPhone/iPad. Yay!

Experiment with electric car range using a simple simulation.. Without claiming to give a fair picture of the range of electric cars, you can get an idea of what impact different parameters have on the range. Play with the numbers as you please. The battery capacity gives range from 100-0%. In addition to the example values there are values for a few more cars on the attached car page. Also the force, effect needed to move the car, %/10km and kWh/10km at selected speed is presented.
