Event
Whether planning, designing and implementing a theme evening or organizing a trip to motivate employees, the range of tasks in the event industry is diverse. Events enable and promote the meeting of people, establish personal contacts and bonds, arouse emotions and thus create a positive mood.

The work includes varied appointments, exciting tasks and diverse clients.
On Mac in the office or on iPad on-site at the event location, Merlin Project is the perfect companion for the event organizer, event manager, event technician and anyone else who works in this industry.
Color at Workplace
With my previous blog-article, I shared an insight into my digital tools of daily work.
Today, it's about the hardware that provides these digital tools.
In our everyday life, workstations with their software, their operating systems, are just technical helpers that should work perfectly.
Now a new computer has arrived, an M1 iMac from Apple. The new M1 generation has already raised enough attention technically, I don't have to worry about the performance and the technical features.
More important is the small, underestimated side effect, the color, in my case it is yellow. A sunshine at my workplace. It's just nice to look at this computer.

How to Repair M1 Macs with Apple Configurator
The new Apple M1 Macs are true wonder machines. They are fast, efficient and power-saving. They are completely different from the previous Intel Macs. If you are looking for a PRAM reset, NVRAM reset or any other previously known startup handle, you won't find it anymore.
This in turn raises the question, what if the M1-Mac no longer starts or the firmware goes on strike?
There is only one button that you have to press. Thus, you keep the power button pressed until the startup options appear on the screen.
This takes you to options that, for example, reboot the system. This is always helpful if macOS stops working properly and you still want to keep your data. Furthermore, with the help of Disk Utility, you can repair the hard drives, partition them and get rid of most of the problems.
But what to do if that doesn't work either and the startup options don't work anymore? In principle, the Mac remains completely inaccessible.

Music, Concerts & Touring
When you think of the music industry, you have an image of brightly shining stages before your eyes. However, most of the work takes place away from the glamour, backstage, in the recording studio and in planning.
Every record, every concert, every tour is an independent project in which many people work together: Composers, musicians, sound engineers, producers, concert promoters, tour managers, etc. They all have one goal: the project must be carried out at a specified time, all people have to be there on time and the budget should be kept as much as possible.
Working in the music industry requires a certain stress resistance and always a cool head. Everyone has to be prepared for breakdowns, misfortunes and mishaps. If the amplifier suddenly fails in the middle of a concert or the sound disappears in a live broadcast, you have to be able to react quickly and improvise. So the necessary risk management is an important factor - but with Merlin Project this is no problem.
