Philip also edits for a fitness company located in Sydney. Some elements he includes in the videos for the company are included in OSFirstTimer videos as well. One example would be the ''lower thirds'', which are the introduction slides/blocks with descriptive text, appearing mainly on the bottom of videos/documentaries.
In December 2020, Oscar Liang (''MightyEagle73''), content creator and veteran patron of OSFirstTimer's now-closed Patreon page, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPonsYts6Dk&list=PLhQFtoCivDjbOESSIlKfg8GuIuORro2l8 drove to Melbourne and took the Spirit of Tasmania down to Tasmania from
As his main computer, Phil currently uses an Mwave custom-built PC, which the specs are listed of in OSFirstTimer's ''[https://www.youtube.com/c/OSFirstTimer/about About]'' section. A Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone, with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage space, was used as his phone and camera, until he replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 in December 2021. His previous computer, an Alienware Area 51 from 2014, was replaced by his current one due to failing hardware, and the PC before that, a Lenovo ThinkStation was used but replaced with the Alienware PC due to increasing slowdown as well as increasing hardware incompatibility with newer software. He also used to own a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, but he sold it in 2019, due to his phone being capable enough to replace a portable computer for him.

He eventually became bored with the same games, since he wanted to play new ones (which he couldn't do, due to not finishing the games he'd started). By this point, TMS had cured his RSI, and he became interested in Windows 8 development. When it came out, he had his mum try it while filming her, starting the OSFirstTimer channel. The channel's main aim was to find the best and worst operating systems (initially the worst operating system was Windows 8 but that changed when Diana tried out MS-DOS). Now, they do it for fun, as his mum (Diana) had a 2013 Alienware 14 laptop with Windows 8 to replace her old Toshiba one with Windows XP. The Alienware laptop also got replaced later with the Lenovo Yoga 910 in August 2017. Diana still uses her Yoga 910 today.
They used what they called the ''shaky cam'' method, until the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5AMQJokcwU Windows 95 video], where they started to use a screen recorder to show the operating system and a green screen to show Diana and Ben. On May 17, 2014, Philip started to make ''Dad Tries Out'' videos. OSFirstTimer also does tutorials, unboxings, and used to do Q&A videos as well. Philip even published the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOLGm0W9QZc ''OSFirstTimer - House Tour!''] to the channel, which is a tour of their old apartment. Due to Phil moving out of his parents' house, OSFirsttimer last uploaded on February 23, 2023

[https://www.youtube.com/user/AstralPhaser AstralPhaser] is a gaming <span>YouTube</span> channel that's home to Philip's ''Gaming Through the Ages'' series, where he plays games dating from 1975 to the present day, exploring 44 years of gaming console history. It is also home to the ''AstralPhaser Weekly Chat'' where members of the ''AstralPhaser Central'' Discord server meet, discuss and ask questions. These videos are unedited as of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWEVowt8LEQ episode #11]. The ''Weekly Chat'' has been discontinued since August 2017; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3R75QrE2eo episode #22] is the last episode, and the last video related to the server is called ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMTjD--YDpE Experiment - Are The AstralPhaser Central Mods Abusive/Ban Happy?]''. AstralPhaser's original purpose was to upload Lets Plays of Philip playing various games to help him progress in overcoming RSI, and recording proved helpful in keeping his mind on something else other than RSI (hence the name change from ''RSIGamer'' to ''AstralPhaser''). An Oculus Rift game playthrough series was uploaded before the ''Gaming Through the Ages'' series. AstralPhaser last uploaded on December 15, 2017.

[https://www.youtube.com/user/I2padams/videos I2Padams] was one of Philip's first <span>YouTube</span> channels. This channel is a replacement for his first (now deleted) ''12padams'' channel and contains videos about ''Histacom'', videos on ''The Phase'',and also features some videos of an OS series he did, called ''Up To Date''. Other videos include Minecraft being played by his then two-year-old sister Jasmine, a video of her eating a ''yucky lunch'', and ''Codelink'' running on an iPad 2 with ''Splashtop''. Due to Phil using a new account, I2padams last uploaded on August 20, 2012.

A month after creating [[OSFirstTimer]] in 2012, Philip started the [https://www.youtube.com/user/TerrifiedMum TerrifiedMum] YouTube channel where he gets Diana to play scary games as decided by Phil or requested by the viewers. As of November 2018, the channel is inactive. The channel started with a brief playthrough of the original Slenderman game, then went on to other titles, including Oculus Rift games. The content later expanded to include a reaction video series named ''Diana Watches''. TerrifiedMum last uploaded on August 14, 2017.

Philip made a channel in early 2014 called [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFkV1ZTArpBIeDu6FUl2guA Arch Linux Adventures], where he started in a terminal in Arch Linux and eventually evolved it by downloading the LXDE desktop environment, Compiz, and many more compatible programs. It was originally meant to have around 512 episodes, but it only had 15, (ep. 0-14) as it was hard enough to focus on his OSFirstTimer channel, and Philip wanted to work on ShiftOS more. Arch Linux Adventures last uploaded on March 1, 2014.
