Interesting observation - after growing exceedingly tired of Acrobat trying to interject AI in every menu and screen, I went into the preferences and turned it all off.
Suddenly, the finnicky Reading Order tool quit acting so strange, and the erratic tag panel behavior seems to have stopped as well.
Is Acrobat tanking the user experience in an effort to force its AI on the user?

Sicily is getting a massive solar farm that doubles as farmland. European Energy just broke ground on a 225.5MW agrivoltaic project that will power 135,000 homes while supporting sheep grazing and reforestation on the same land.
The facility will generate 405GWh annually, proving renewable energy and agriculture can thrive together.

European Energy begins work Italy’s 225.5MW agrivoltaic project
European Energy has broken ground on the 225.5MW agrivoltaic project near Vizzini, Sicily, marking it as Italy's largest and one of Europe's most significant agrivoltaic developments.

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Why in the fudge is any social media video site or smartphone camera recording or allowing reversed-image video to exist? All I see is the reversed text on t-shirts and it is so aggravatingly stupid and offensive

It might be a good idea to constantly give Germans the impression that a subsidy scheme is about to be scrapped, so that EV sales continue to rise steadily

Cornell researchers just solved a major agrivoltaics challenge: how to balance crops and solar panels in real-time.
Their new framework automatically adjusts panel angles based on weather patterns and crop needs—boosting energy while keeping plants healthy. It even works in cloudy climates, making solar-agriculture combos viable almost anywhere.

Plug-and-play control framework for adjusting panel tilt in agrivoltaics
A Cornell University research team developed a control framework that simultaneously considers past and future conditions when determining solar panel tilt angle. The researchers told pv magazine it is designed to be plug-and-play, allowing for software developers and solar operators to incorporate their optimization algorithms directly into the framework.

Oatly is proving that regenerative agriculture isn't just a farm-level challenge—it's a corporate responsibility issue.
Their ambitious timeline: 30% of global supply regenerative by 2030, ramping to 100% by 2050. The key insight? Success requires corporate transparency and bringing farmers into decision-making, not just asking them to change practices.

The race to regenerate: Why the tipping point for nature positive agriculture is a business problem, not a farming problem
The agrifood system drives 30% of global emissions. Regenerative agriculture can fix that. So why hasn't it gone exponential yet?
