From 1fbde2abd71ad1356df8e563087541916f892724 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach Wolf Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2022 18:22:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add TheTake.ai to SmartTV Discovered outbound requests to api.thetake.com coming from my LG TV (requests happen every few minutes). https://thetake.com redirects to https://thetake.ai/. This seems quite non-essential. According to their website, Samsung might be using this technology as well. This block has been tested for 1 week without issues. --- SmartTV-AGH.txt | 3 ++- SmartTV.txt | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/SmartTV-AGH.txt b/SmartTV-AGH.txt index 17ce4ba..d05c55a 100644 --- a/SmartTV-AGH.txt +++ b/SmartTV-AGH.txt @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ !
