There's something big afoot in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and Epic wants all eyes forward. The developer just updated the in-game news feed with a somewhat cryptic message advertising the upcoming Season 5 battle pass, something that dedicated players have been speculating about for a while but that Epic has only recently started to address head-on. The text reads only "Worlds Collide: 3 days until Season 5." The message is accompanied by a teaser image that Epic's official Fortnite twitter sent out a little while ago. It appears to depict a stylized version of a Japanese mask depicting Kitsune, which is both the word for fox and a sort of character out of folklore and mythology. There's also a blue, crackling rift over the right eye, something that matches what players have been seeing in-game for about a week.

To fly drones commercially, however, companies must comply with numerous regulations and restrictions. The Federal Aviation Administration requires commercial drone operators to complete a "Part 107" process -- which Deangelis compared to "ground school" -- that includes testing to assure drone pilots understand things like airspace, weather patterns and sectional maps. Commercial operators must retest every two years and carry insurance that can cost several thousand dollars annually.

Dish launched Alexa support for its Hopper and Wally set-top boxes last year, so the devices can already do your bidding with just a spoken command. Now, the satellite TV provider is giving you another voice control option: one that should make you happy if you prefer Google's AI to Amazon's. So long as you have an Android device, an iPhone loaded with the AI's app or an Assistant device such as a Home speaker or a Home mini, you can navigate its channels and shows with your voice. You can ask Assistant to play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and adjust the volume of what you're watching. If you have no idea what to watch, you can also search for shows based on channel, title, actor and genre.

Speculation about the theme of Fortnite: Battle Royale's season 5 since season 4 began, but over the past few days things have been starting to come into focus. There are still a lot of question marks out there, but over the past few days in-game rifts have been both eating parts of the scenery and spitting some others out. And last night we got our clearest indicator of the upcoming theme-- or at least one of the themes--yet. A stagecoach popped out of one of the rifts, supporting earlier datamined assets that we'll be seeing a lot of the Wild West in the upcoming season, something that Epic also appeared to hint at with a high-noon shootout in a recent trailer. Not only that, but a leak that accurately predicted the stagecoach says that next we'll be getting a very Wild West-looking skeleton.

Leonardo da Vinci famously created drawings and paintings that showed a bird's eye view of certain areas of Italy with a level of detail that was not otherwise possible until the invention of photography and flying machines. Indeed, many critics have wondered how he could have imagined these details. But now researchers are working on the inverse problem: given a satellite image of Earth's surface, what does that area look like from the ground? How clear can such an artificial image be? Today we get an answer thanks to the work of Xueqing Deng and colleagues at the University of California, Merced.

Has Netflix's sizeable investment in original science-fiction movies been a bust? By one popular metric, Rotten Tomatoes, the answer would seem to be: Categorically. Since 2017's Okja, a feisty ecological fairy tale by Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, Netflix has put out seven back-to-back stinkers, their average "freshness" score rounding up to 30 percent. Only one of the seven can be called unwatchable: Duncan Jones' Mute, an overlong and sexually confused nightclub noir that trips over itself to imagine a neon-colored vision of future Berlin peopled by the likes of a mustachioed Paul Rudd. This is terribly sad, considering the director's first two films, Moon and Source Code, were the exact opposite--careful, contained stories that played out in modest settings.
