It contains one of the missing palantir. Allows them to see anywhere they want.
Does anyone know what's inside this building?

An artifact of that power can only be controlled by the director

It’s where they research calcium.

It's the global "build-a-bear" factory, that the Lububus did a hostile takeover on.

Telephone exchanger. And as a consequence a lot of espionage occurred there, but just because it’s a big telephone exchanger, not because that’s its purpose.

Likely still occurs. Nowadays the equipment is different but most of the communications on the east coast go through thar building I believe?

Probably

The CIA or NSA telecom data extraction building … Something like that, where all the internet gets analyzed in there…

Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street
Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 months ago
Yep, other side, that’s definitely not just a red herring address that was invented for that interactive mockumentary that came out a few years ago.

Who the fuck did your onboarding, agent?! Did you skip over the part where you’re not, under any circumstances, to reveal the location of the Oldest House to the public?! Do you need another copy of that memo?!

it is a telephone exchange or wire center building […] used for […] telephony, as well as […] for competitive local exchange carrier services. However, it is not used for incumbent local exchange carrier services, and is not a central office. Its CLLI code is NYCMNYBW.
It has been reported that the building is used as a National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance facility.[1][2]

My father worked for Western Electric, the part of the Bell System that handled wiring this building (and others). I’m pretty sure he worked there, at least for a while. The amount of copper wire in that building is astronomical.

Fun fact: there are some big magnets in there. I have a compass on my backpack and it had a lot of trouble when I passed that building.
Madison420@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Lots of high voltage and inductors which effect local magnetic fields. Probably not too many permanent magnets though, you can see the same thing at local switching stations of you try.

It would be cool if you could share a video of that

Might that not be a case of the building having a monster concentration of ferrous metal?
dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might’ve been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There’s a building in my city colloquially referred to as “the bunker” built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 5 months ago
No idea what building that is or what’s inside, but I love me a giant brutalist megastructure.
