her first tip was to never leave your device by liquids or put your phone in rice; followed by her second tip, which was to periodically shut off your computer to help its memory<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Karleigh’s first tip was to never leave drinks or any liquids near your devices while working. <\/p>\n

She added: ‘And if I ever did get liquid in one of my devices, I’d never put it in rice.’<\/p>\n

The Apple employee explained that many think putting your phone in rice is a solution to drying out the liquid in the device, but she advised against it because she said the ‘rice can get stuck inside your phone.’<\/p>\n

Instead, she recommended turning your phone ‘upside down or positioning it in way to let the water dry out.’ <\/p>\n

The second tip she shared to her followers was to periodically shut off your laptop. <\/p>\n

She emphasized the importance of not just letting your computer die, but rather, powering it down yourself instead. <\/p>\n

Karleigh added that she does this to protect the computer’s RAM, or Random Access Memory, which she notes is: ‘Basically short term memory for processes and applications that your currently using on your computer.’ <\/p>\n
