2026 Kia Seltos flush door handles feel slightly risky in public parking?

Got my 2026 Kia Seltos recently and had a small concern regarding the flush door handles.

On older cars, even if the car accidentally got unlocked from your pocket, nobody would really notice because the handles stayed normal.

But on the new Seltos, if the unlock button gets pressed accidentally, the flush handles immediately pop out. The unlock range also seems pretty long, so the car can get unlocked even from quite far away without realizing it.

So if the car is parked roadside and you step into a shop for 2 mins and accidentally press the unlock button on the key, the flush door handles visibly pops out and ready to open. Feels a bit risky in public parking situations. Curious if other owners have thought about this too.

Does the car auto re-lock after some time if no door is opened?
Any other solution to this?

Headlight visibility on my Kia Seltos feels extremely poor at night.

Recently brought Kia Seltos 2026 model. The headlight throw appears extremely low at night. Even after trying all the available headlight level settings, visibility is still poor and speed breakers are barely visible unless I’m very close to them.

Wanted to know:

• Can installing fog lights improve visibility significantly (or fog lights only help in foggy weather and not in general)?

• do i add some projector lights, how will that be different from fog lights?

• Some good aftermarket options safe to go with? Main concern with aftermarket work is possible wire cutting, warranty/insurance issues, or electrical problems later.

I’m trying to deploy my full stack project for free just to learn and get it off localhost 😭

I’m honestly confused about deployment and just want my project to stop living only on localhost 😭

Right now I have:

  • frontend
  • backend
  • database

Main things I want to understand:

  1. Best FREE hosting options for frontend, backend, and database?
  2. Which free tiers are actually usable and not super limited?
  3. Can backend + database be deployed together for free?
  4. how do i connect frontend and backend if they are hosted on different servers lets say vercel and render respectively

Would really appreciate beginner-friendly suggestions.

I recently purchased a domain from GoDaddy and set up my dummy store on shopify as I’m planning to start dropshipping.

Today I got a random email from:
name : Ana Silva and email : a111688325@gmail.com

Them:
“Are you the one running this store (with my store name mentioned)”

Me:
“Please share more details about your inquiry regarding the website?”

Them:
“Hi Leniora , I help Shopify store owners fix issues blocking sales… stores can reach $5K–$10K weekly… your store has potential… want me to share 3–5 things holding it back?”

Me:
“Thanks, but I’m not looking for external help at the moment.”

Them:
“Why?”

Is Shopify leaking data to these people, please help me identify if I'm being scammed, I can also share the email in the comments as its not letting me share in the post?

I’ve been researching dropshipping for a while now, but honestly, the information online feels all over the place. Some people say it’s saturated and dead, while others claim they’re still making good money with it.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually worth getting into right now or if I’d just be wasting time and money. Also, would you recommend sticking with dropshipping, or is it smarter to focus on some other business model?

Most of them keep saying RTO eats up all the margin and 99% there will be losses, is that true? is anyone still earning decent amount from this? as I am planning to go all in into this.
