He is also the creator of the time-travel indie hacking game ''Histacom'' and the make-your-own OS game ''
He lived with his parents [[Diana Adams|Diana]] and [[Ben Adams|Ben]] Adams and his younger sister [[Jasmine Adams|Jasmine]] in an apartment in Manly, Sydney until January 21st, 2018, where they moved into a house in Hobart, Tasmania.

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 down to Tasmania from Sydney] with his dad and met up with Philip on 11th of December 2020. He helped Philip record and edit the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wf6GnHq0ys&t 2020 Gaming Through The Ages Episode] on OSFirstTimer, which was published four months later. He then returned to Philip's house on the 14th of December 2020 and they had their final talk before Oscar went back to Sydney.
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

Philip spent years exploring Windows XP, until sometime in 2007 when he got the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death Blue Screen of Death] (BSoD). His computer soon stopped working, so he had to get a new one. He bought the computer the day Windows Vista was released in Australia, so the new computer came
On May 12, 2008, Philip started a project named [[Massive Archive]], in which he tries to vlog almost anything every day, including his thoughts, activities and family-related things. He started uploading some of these vlogs in early 2015, but before that, he did not have the intention of making it public. In February 2019, he even decided to do a series named ''OSFT Archive'' on the channel [[OSFT Historic VLogs]]. It is a summary/commentary series of the vlogs contained in the archive, where Philip compares his past and present self and points out other differences and ''bad/unprofessional'' things. The series' episodes represent each month since the beginning of the archive (e.g.: ''Episode 1 - May 2008, Episode 2 - June 2008, etc.'').

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,

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

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

Back in April 2013, Philip published a prank video called ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AhJ-fGQsfo OSFirstTimer - Talking About Operating Systems Prank]'' on the OSFirstTimer channel, which got a substantial amount of backlash. The backlash has its roots leading back to 4chan, where users shared that video and described it mockingly. The main points they listed is that Phil is ''"miserably failing at being funny and relatable"'' and that he ''"is either an attraction for autistic people"'' or'' "being autistic himself"''. Other people would go for making fun of his voice being ''"too frog-like"''. Since then, OSFirstTimer was often associated with ''cringe'', but in more recent days, the backlash for that video has almost gone away.
However, the general type of humour and delayed knowledge of internet memes, that Philip used to have, created controversy as well, so did his overconcern and/or misinformation about topics such as radiation, sunscreens or even geographical knowledge. Religious jokes and references were also made by him and his parents sometimes, especially about the ''devil's number'' 666 and god. The controversy has been built up for alleged reasons such as them'' "shoving their religion onto other people's faces"'','' "being too uneducated", ''and/or them ''"telling their audience things that were debunked before".'' Especially the radiation scenario has either been debunked or joked about a few times in the past, even by his viewers/subscribers. These
Some viewers have mentioned that his videos are loosely prepared and that it still feels as if Diana/Ben ''and Phil'' are trying out operating systems and programs, and not ''just'' Diana or Ben themselves. This means that there are a few things still being improvised and/or not fully researched upon. On the other hand, other viewers find that Phil is restricting Diana too much, making her actions limited to the things that Philip finds ''"interesting or watchable for their viewers/subscribers"''. However, Diana's purpose originally was to be portrayed to be a computer-illiterate person, trying out another operating system/program for the first time and in her ''own'' way. Several scenes were included in videos where even Diana herself questions Philip as to why he is restricting her to do her own actions. Examples are the episodes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Reh15duZMAg Mum Tries Out Solaris 11.1 (2012)] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdRzvw0HhlU Mum Tries Out Solus 1.1 (2016)].
