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

[[File:What The Heck Just Happened channel (September 2023).png|thumb|300x300px|''What The Heck Just Happened YouTube channel'']] In late 2016, Philip created the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXWdCNzSx5gYOm9XWDaACTQ What The Heck Just Happened] <span>YouTube</span> channel which showcases various magic tricks. A video showing Phil doing a trick is published and it is soon followed by a video explaining how the trick works. However, viewers must reenact the trick themselves in a video and link it to Phil's video, before the trick is revealed on his channel. If a trick video reaches 100,000 views and still hasn't been solved, then Phil will release hints and snippets of attempted submissions to help viewers figure out exactly what happened in the trick. Also, Dianna made an appearance on what the heck just happened [[File:Let's Explore Community Hub channel (
