Apps helping boycott US goods gain popularity in Denmark UdenUSA is currently the fourth most downloaded app in Denmark on the App Store, the American ChatGPT is in fifth place
STOCKHOLM, January 21. /TASS/. Apps that help identify goods originating from the US and offer alternatives from other countries are growing in popularity in Denmark, public broadcaster Danmarks Radio reported.
Two applications called Made O’Meter and UdenUSA (translated as “Made by the Meter” and “Without the USA”) have seen huge success in the kingdom.
UdenUSA was developed by 21-year-old Jonas Pipper and 22-year-old Malthe Hensberg from the small island of Mors in western North Jutland.
“It all started nine months ago when we discovered a Facebook group (banned in Russia, owned by Meta, recognized as extremist in Russia - TASS note) called Boycott USA, which instantly became popular. It had nearly 100,000 users,” Pipper said.
“Then we thought, ‘It’s strange that there’s no tool that scans a product and determines its origin.’ That’s exactly what you can do with the UdenUSA app. The app allows you to see where products are made, find alternatives from countries other than the US, and add them to your cart,” he explained.
UdenUSA is currently the fourth most downloaded app in Denmark on the App Store. The American ChatGPT is in fifth place.
“We’re not necessarily calling for a boycott. We’re simply giving you the opportunity to gain a little more clarity, and then it’s up to consumers to decide what to do,” Pipper noted.

There’s no enshittification. This is just WMF (not even the community) allowing AI to train on Wikipedia’s data. And FYI, most Wikipedias strongly discourage the use of LLMs or all AI in general.

One is a valid prefix (and Microsoft has a weird numbering).
Steam Machine is then an update to the original Steam Machine…

The 2015 steam machine was sold for 400-600, so I was basing it off that

There’s no prefix in this second one, so it implies it is the first.

Around 700, if we follow previous trends and account for inflation.
