What are the three basic needs of a human being? Back in the days, when I was in elementary school, I was taught it was food, clothing, and shelter. Recently, I was talking to one of my friends, who was born in the late 90's. Coming to her with the same question, she quickly responded without a second thought. "Food, electricity, and internet," she said. Apparently, a lot has changed since I was in elementary school. Now, as much as baby boomers like to pick on us millennials as a smartphone addicted, socially inept generation of people for statements like these, it is interesting to observe how internet, while not necessarily a basic need, has become a quintessential utility like gas, electricity, water, and sewage. Unlike the early 2000's, our dependency on the internet is not just for basic tasks like checking email or reading the news. The widespread availability of high speed connections has allowed us to easily access devices and its data from anywhere in the world, bringing about an era of connectivity like never before. In the last few years, NAS manufacturers like QNAP has been pushing the concept of a "personal cloud"; where instead of storing data on someone else's server, you do it on your own. The convenience of such is almost revolutionary. In fact, I slowly became so dependent on my network attached storage system in and out of my LAN, it has practically become a basic need. How? I use it to sync files between devices, store backup images, host music and videos for streaming, serve software installations around the house, and provide VPN access when I am away; the list goes on. Today, we will take a look at yet another one of these devices. The QNAP TVS-463 is part of the company's AMD based lineup, which has 4K output capabilities, and -- get this -- run as your regular PC if you plug in a keyboard and mouse. With all these features packed down, is there something it cannot do?
