Scientists have discovered not only that animals age more quickly when they don't have enough of the amino acid taurine in the body, but that oral taurine supplements can delay aging and increase a healthy lifespan. An international team of researchers found that taurine supplements delayed aging in worms, mice, and monkeys, and increased the healthy lifespan of middle-aged mice by up to 12 percent. "For the last 25 years, scientists have been trying to find factors that not only let us live longer, but also increase health span, the time we remain healthy in our old age," says biologist Vijay Yadav from Columbia University, senior author on the study. "This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives."

Leaving the jailbreak community

Around this time last year (in March 2022) I had updated my main iPhone to iOS 15.1, hoping to make a jailbreak for it. I fully expected to be gone from the scene after iOS 15.1, but knew full well that with all the mitigations of iOS 15.0 - 15.1 alone, it may already have been out of my means to make a jailbreak, so there was a risk.

By that time, I had already cut down the tweaks I used to just 2 -- iPad dock for iPhone, and enabling battery percentage for notched iPhones.

Fast forward to June, and iOS 16 had natively introduced battery percentage for iPhones that have the notch -- cutting down the number of tweaks I’d want (compared to stock) from 2 to 1. But no matter, I was still on iOS 15.1, and still hoping to make a jailbreak, since I had a working terminal at that point.

However, the months progressed -- June became July, and iOS 16 betas were coming. Thanks to a donation from someone, I got an M1 Macbook Air to accelerate jailbreak development, and had gotten libhooker with tweaks running a couple weeks later, including on A12 and A13. The jailbreak at this point was in an extremely buggy, albeit functional state and hope was up.

Then the jailbreak community happened -- without a PAC / PPL bypass at the time, libhooker would be forced to sign code pages -- which was only really doable with the libhooker API (unless a ton of effort was spent on potential workarounds). But tweak developers largely refused to consider using the libhooker API for batching hooks, and I was quickly getting frustrated. And a lot of others from the community weren’t helping either -- I had gotten harassed by many jailbreak users on twitter and reddit over this, especially since it had recently come to light that Cheyote was broken on A15. And of course, with it being August 2022, it was unlikely any donations at this point would even get an A15 device on early iOS 15.

At the same time, I had other interests popping up with porting Windows to various chromebooks -- my port to AMD Ryzen was going well enough to be a daily driver, and I had just gotten audio working on the Pixel 2 chromebook (which I previously abandoned in 2017 but then picked up in 2022 with my new experience).

So I snapped -- I realized how much better the community is on the chromebook side and that I simply didn’t need to put up with the jailbreak community. And I put Cheyote on the backburner to focus on developing Windows drivers for chromebooks.

Then August became September, November, December. Progress was being made on the chromebook scene, but every time I considered returning to doing iOS jailbreaking, I shuddered from remembering the harassment.

In December 2022, I returned the money donated towards the macbook to the person who donated it. Since I realized Cheyote was well beyond schedule, even if it ever came to happen. Meanwhile in the chromebook scene, I was getting Intel 12th gen audio working.

Then the months passed, and in March 2023 I realized it had been a full year. And I was still on iOS 15.1 for seemingly no reason other than to tease myself and miss out on the battery percentage and widgets -- so I updated my main iPhone to iOS 16.3.1 (and now iOS 16.4), knowing that there was no turning back and that I would no longer be jailbroken on my main device for a long time, if ever.

That brings us to today. Even though I’ve been in denial about it for several months now, it clearly has made me feel a lot better to stay away from the jailbreak community, and I have found new interests that make me happier. So it’s time to say farewell. It’s been a good run overall since I started developing tweaks for iOS 5 (in 2012) and jailbreaks since iOS 11 (in 2017) -- a 10 year run isn’t too bad after all. 

===========================================================

For those who are still waiting on Cheyote, unfortunately I wouldn’t hold my breath anymore. I’ve clearly moved on months ago, even though it’s taken me until now to fully realize it. I appreciate those who have supported me in the past and thank you for your support on my tweaks, Electra, Chimera, Odyssey and Taurine. If you’re still running one of the jailbreaks I’ve made -- you’re a real one. libhooker and my repos will still be up and running for those on iOS 11 to iOS 14, and Sileo has been maintained by Amy for over a year now. I expect Odyssey and Taurine won’t need any more updates considering they’ve been running stable for a long time, and libhooker 1.6.9 will continue to be hosted on my repo since it is the last version to be fully validated up to iOS 14.8.1 (on checkm8) and up to iOS 14.3 (on Chimera -> Taurine).

If you were interested in what I’m up to these days, feel free to grab almost any Intel chromebook (or one of the 3 supported Ryzen 3000 chromebooks) from the last decade and put Windows on it! (Except the original Pixel 1 [no trackpad / touch screen] or Samsung Chromebook 3 -- that one is garbage, sorry if you have it)

Taurine Prices: Trend | Pricing | News | Price | Database | Forecast

 Taurine Prices a naturally occurring amino sulfonic acid, plays a vital role in various industrial and consumer applications, influencing its price dynamics in the global market. The taurine market is characterized by fluctuations driven by a combination of supply-demand imbalances, raw material costs, and the evolving landscape of consumer preferences. As taurine is widely used in energy drinks, dietary supplements, animal nutrition, and pharmaceutical formulations, its pricing is sensitive to shifts in these industries. Manufacturers of taurine frequently face challenges related to the costs of key raw materials, particularly ethylene oxide and sulfur, which are essential inputs in taurine production. Any volatility in the prices of these raw materials can significantly impact taurine production costs, thereby influencing market prices.

China holds a dominant position in taurine production and export, largely due to its cost-efficient manufacturing processes and large-scale facilities. Consequently, changes in China’s industrial output, environmental policies, or export regulations have a profound effect on global taurine pricing. In recent years, stricter environmental regulations in China have led to temporary shutdowns of chemical plants, disrupting the supply chain and causing price surges. Additionally, the growing demand for taurine in developing economies, spurred by an expanding middle class and increasing health awareness, has added upward pressure on prices. Emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are witnessing robust growth in taurine consumption, further tightening the global supply-demand equation.

The energy drink sector remains a key driver for taurine demand, as it is a critical ingredient in many popular brands. With the energy drink market experiencing steady growth, especially among younger demographics and fitness enthusiasts, the demand for taurine has risen substantially. However, this surge in demand has also contributed to periodic supply shortages, especially during times of production disruptions. Similarly, the dietary supplement industry continues to bolster taurine consumption, as health-conscious consumers seek its benefits for cardiovascular health, muscle function, and overall well-being. This heightened interest has led to intensified competition among manufacturers, which can influence pricing strategies in the market.

Another significant factor impacting taurine prices is the animal nutrition industry, where taurine is an essential additive in pet food, particularly for cats, who require it for their health. As pet ownership increases globally, coupled with a growing trend of premiumization in pet food, the demand for taurine in this segment has grown. This additional demand further complicates the pricing scenario, especially when the taurine supply chain faces constraints. On the pharmaceutical front, taurine's applications in treating various health conditions have also contributed to its growing demand, though this segment remains smaller compared to energy drinks and animal nutrition.

Technological advancements in production processes have started to influence the taurine market. Some manufacturers are investing in sustainable and cost-effective production methods to reduce dependency on traditional raw materials. Such innovations have the potential to stabilize prices in the long run, though the initial investment costs may temporarily impact market prices. Additionally, the rise of synthetic biology and fermentation-based approaches to taurine production could alter the market dynamics, providing alternative sources that could alleviate supply constraints and moderate price volatility.

Consumer preferences and regulatory developments are also key factors shaping the taurine market. As consumers become more aware of product ingredients and their origins, there is a growing demand for sustainably produced taurine. This trend has prompted some manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly practices, which may lead to slight cost increases initially but could enhance market stability over time. On the regulatory front, any changes in food safety standards or ingredient approvals in major markets such as the United States, European Union, or Asia-Pacific can have a direct impact on taurine demand and pricing.

Currency fluctuations also add complexity to taurine price trends, as most international trade in taurine is conducted in US dollars. Any significant appreciation or depreciation of local currencies against the dollar can affect import-export dynamics, influencing regional price disparities. For instance, a stronger US dollar makes taurine imports more expensive for countries with weaker currencies, potentially reducing demand in those markets and creating supply gluts elsewhere.

The future of taurine pricing is likely to be shaped by a combination of these factors, with increasing global demand continuing to exert upward pressure. However, market players are exploring strategies to mitigate price volatility, including long-term supply agreements and diversifying raw material sources. The focus on research and development to improve production efficiency and explore alternative manufacturing routes is expected to gain momentum, potentially easing supply constraints over time. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce platforms has improved market transparency, enabling buyers and sellers to better monitor price trends and negotiate more effectively.

In conclusion, the taurine market exhibits a complex interplay of supply-demand dynamics, raw material costs, regulatory frameworks, and consumer trends. While challenges such as production disruptions and raw material volatility persist, technological advancements and shifts toward sustainability offer hope for greater market stability. As demand for taurine continues to rise across key industries, stakeholders must navigate these dynamics carefully to ensure a balanced and competitive market environment.

[wtf-tfw]

there once was. A turtle named Myrtle. Myrtle was addicted to taurine. She drank energy drinks day in and day out. But how did she open the cans, the dieticians and investigators wondered alike...how on earth did she open those cans!?!? The answer was a mystery, but just between you and me, 'twas a leggy blonde named Janice, who lived in a winnebago. She sat on the rocks and all day she busted open cold ones, for her and Myrtle to share.

The Hidden Dangers of Caffeine Addiction from Energy Drinks

Hey Tumblr friends,

Let's talk about the growing addiction to energy drinks, especially those loaded with caffeine. 🚫☕️

The Caffeine Trap

Energy drinks promise increased alertness and energy, but regular consumption can lead to dependence. Over time, you might need more caffeine to get the same effect, creating a cycle of dependency.

Health Risks

Excessive caffeine can cause:

- Insomnia

- Anxiety

- Heart Problems

- Digestive Issues

Taurine: The Other Ingredient

Many energy drinks also contain taurine, an amino acid that supports metabolism, protects muscles, and can improve physical performance. While taurine is generally safe, its combination with high caffeine levels can amplify health risks.

Breaking Free

To cut back on energy drinks:

1. Gradually Reduce Intake

2. Choose Healthy Alternatives

3. Prioritize Sleep

4. Exercise Regularly

Let's break the cycle of caffeine dependence and find healthier ways to stay energized! 💪✨

Stay safe and take care!
