'''Philip Joseph Adams''' (born on April 21, 1994 in Sydney, Australia) is the host, director and preparer of operating systems for the [[OSFirstTimer]] YouTube channel. He is also the creator of the time-travel indie hacking game ''Histacom'' and the make-your-own OS game ''ShiftOS''. He comes from and currently lives in Tasmania, Australia with his parents [[Diana Adams|Diana]] and''' '''[[Ben Adams]] and his younger sister [[Jasmine Adams|Jasmine]]. He lived with his family in several appartments in Sydney until January 2018, when they moved into a house in Hobart (Tasmania) with him.
He currently uses a 2014 Alienware Area 51 (with 32GB RAM) as his main computer, a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 as his tablet computer and an iPhone 7 (3GB RAM and 32GB storage space) as his phone.

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 pre-installed with Vista.
In May 2008, Philip started a series named ''Massive Archive'', in which he tries to vlog almost anything everyday, reaching from his thoughts, his past, current and future activities, to family-related things. He started uploading some of these vlogs in late 2014, but before that, he did not have the intention of making the series public. Only recently, he decided to upload the entire vlog series - divided into months starting from May 2008, although slightly edited and with commentary from present Philip - onto the channel [[OSFT Historic VLogs]]. In that reinterpretation of the series, Philip compares his past and present self and points out other differences and ''bad/unprofessional'' things.

Another channel he partially manages is the channel [[Char Char Gaming]], which is primarily owned by his sister [[Jasmine Adams|Jasmine]]. On the channel, he makes thumbnails and writes descriptions for the videos she makes. He has also been featured in several videos of the Minecraft Let's Play series on that channel so far.
== Freeforums & Discord ==
At one point in 2013 and early 2014, he had a forum on Freeforums for the OSFirstTimer channel, but constant DDoS attacks from MalwareUp starting in February 2014 caused him to shut down the forum in April. The successor of this forum is currently [http://tech-talk.ml Tech & Talk], which was also eventually (partially) replaced with the ''
== Controversy & Criticism ==
Line 119 ⟶ 122:
Some viewers have mentioned that his videos are loosely prepared, and that it still feels like 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 properly, and that up to recent times. 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 is (or was originally) 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)].
Another controversy is his fanbase's action of doxxing Philip's current home address and phone number, although there is no report of Philip and his family having been unwantedly visited by OSFirstTimer subscribers so far. However, they do not recommend/condone to be doxxed (or to doxx in general) as privacy and welfare is still needed to be respected regardless of subscribers being long-time or recent fans.[[Category:Cast]]
