How could it be for surveillance if they can’t even see outside the building? 🤷🏻‍♂️

No of course it’s not just a surveillance center. They have smokers in addition to tineyes.

A building built for machines (and spying).

How do they survey you without windows though? Do you think they use Linux?

There are backdoors built into most manufacturer’s motherboards nowadays iirc

Intel Management Engine is also noted to be a backdoor, which is in the CPU itself.

The Purism laptop disables IME, or at least tries to from what I understand.

Most likely yes

Servers are like 98% linux or something like that

Pretty sure there is an emacs extension for seeing through concrete.

CIA: "Come on man makes no sense why a building with no windows to spy on people how can we spy if we can’t even look out "

That’s the AT&T Long Lines building, it is just a building full of servers and phone lines.

The NSA have an office there and would tap lines they deemed suspicious since most calls across the country were routed through it.

And now it’s suspected of housing their mega-computers for illegal mass surveillance. The building is supposedly built to withstand nuclear attack. It’s a building built for machines, and an example of brutalist architecture.

ashok36 ,

I think you mean brutalist architecture.

Anticorp ,

I did! Thanks for the correction.

Now I’ve got the Men in Black theme song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.

datelmd5sum ,

How would they survey without windows?

JJROKCZ ,

Is that one of the elevator testing facilities Otis and Thyssen-Krupp operate? Those are tall and windowless as well since they’re just to test elevator models

Chef ,

It’s actually an NSA listening installation named TITANPOINTE.

Right across Broadway is also the NYC FBI office.

Source: I lived a block away. It was fun making my WiFi network “TITANPOINTE- 5G-300%-POWER” during the pandemic.

WarmSoda ,

Oh thank God. I thought it was a surveillance center

It looks like a vent for a tunnel.

Or jails.

newIdentity , (edited )

It’s the AT&T Long Lines Building. It’s pretty likely the NSA did their surveillance of the international calls (and a lot more) there.
