Mum Reacts To PodcastFirstTimer - Episode #2 of 8

[@OsFirstTimer]

Hey guys, be sure to check out the end of this video to see if any of your comments from episode 1 of the podcast were featured (remember, we sadly don't see them all, but we did see quite a few). Comment on this video now to potentially (low chance, but hey, gotta be in it to win it) have your comment seen in the next episode (episode 3). Remember I don't reply to comments on this podcast series via text as I like to keep the comments a surprise for the live reactions :)

[@havingfunwithelijah214]

Hey, I just realised but your channel text for the about this channel, says very old OSes so you should probably update that at some point XD.

[@TeamTMS]

I don't think there's any other channel like this on KZbin. The fact that you guys keep doing this just to entertain your fans and not just trying to chase views and earn heaps of money is incredible. So thank you.

[@blue4321]

Hey Diana, thank you so much for sharing little stories. The one about life at 25:50 is so warm and heartfelt.

[@Everything.Windows]

Ay, thank you for giving us a little bit of a showcase about how the channel goes after the break and the second episode for the reaction. How about another question... Would Diana still consider Arch Linux her "Arch Nemesis"? lol, fun fact, I watched you all since 2014, but started to subscribe around 2016 (in my personal account)

[@winelectronic101]

I still remember when she was having terrible flashbacks of Arch Linux at the initial RetroArch reaction.

[@DobiTech]

I have watched the Algodoo video so many times, I can't fathom how sad it is to know that it's not the same anymore. The fact that Phil and Diana still remember it makes me happy. Keep making these amazing videos.

[@mdmusic]

I remember back in 2013, I stumbled upon "Mum Tries Out Windows 8 (2012)" on my original, but now disused channel, and I remember being really fascinated and happy, that Diana also had the same views and opinions regarding Windows 8's appearance and the way that it functioned. I also remember being super excited to find out, that said video was not the only one on your channel and that you were cleary making more fun videos for us to love and enjoy :D

[@kerwynmanikam8133]

32:47 That was out of nowhere 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheYellowPolarBear]

Question for the next episode, but have you guys considered doing a redux of the (unfortunately infamous) “Top 3 Best & Worst OS’s” video now that the channel has been around for as long as it has? I’m sure it’d be a fun nostalgia trip for the long-time subscribers :) As a little side note, I’ve been a subscriber and part of the OSFirstTimer community since I was around 8 all the way back in 2013, and have always remained a huge fan of the channel ever since. Your videos helped me gain a greater understanding of different OS’s (Linux was still a relatively foreign concept to me at the time), as well as helping me figure out my channel's direction - and I've seen moderate success with the channel because of it. I’ve met most of my online friends in one way or another through you and your community, and I still consider many of them my greatest friends to this day. It’s really awesome to see that you guys still have a passion for educational-comedy-tech content after all this time and I hope it continues for many years! :) P.S. hoping that Ben makes a comeback appearance on the channel :P

[@winelectronic101]

Sadly I feel like reviving the Top 3 best and worst operating systems for a sequel would be a bad idea because she has tried so many that it would be impossible to compare them all. Dad tries out returning would be nice, although it's been a very long while since he last tried an operating system. I believe the request to reach out to Phil again was the exact reason why the now renamed Bits and Bytes Discord server exists (previously called AstralPhaser Central) because he had so many people that wanted to talk to him, but sadly he distanced himself from that due to all the drama, which I don't blame him for. I know for me in particular I'm always trying to be one of the first people to comment on the latest KZbin video he uploads as quickly as I can (even if it's not related to the topic at hand) because that's essentially the only form of communication I have with him (and I'm sure many others feel the same way). Managing over 108 thousand comments across multiple videos, let alone replying to them, is however realistically implausible.

[@babyear5228]

Phil! Get your mum an android phone!!!

[@winelectronic101]

I feel like iOS is basically a much more polished Android now, as they basically copy all of their features at this point, so why switch when you can have all of Android plus Apple exclusive features?

[@ТайныйЯ-к3ь]

11:11 I actually loved that you encountered random problems in the mentioned series back in the day, especially since I was into Linux myself at the time. It was great to see you progressively trying to make everything work and tackle Linux-specific challenges. I enjoyed it and felt a bit sad when it stopped. I watched it a long time ago, though, so my memories might be better than the actual content. Still, I just wanted to say it wasn’t so bad for me that I’d avoid recommending it. The challenging path is what made it good.

[@whitebeartigtig]

40:52 immediately thinks back to that one Windows ME video... I remember being so surprised by that I jumped out of my seat! So yeah, definitely watch at your own risk.

[@AeroWhistler]

Question - Diana, if you and Phil were to make a new version of the "Top 3 Worst And Best Operating System User Interfaces" video, which ones would you pick?

[@gamer49510]

Quick question for the next episode,what inspired you and mum to start your KZbin channel?

[@winelectronic101]

It wasn't originally planned. I think Diana just started going with the flow after trying a few operating systems because she found it fun.

[@tech_and_stuff_2022]

43:44; There's my comment! :-) Another question - What happened to your Lenovo computer you showed in the past?

[@winelectronic101]

He left the window open with the sea air and it corroded the components in the tower.

[@rg40xs]

Best Podcast reaction ever, I actually am enjoying this. Also you both are great souls. :> Question : Would Diana ever try OS Parodies again? She tried out OS Parodies before like RG and Doors, even 93.

[@winelectronic101]

Maybe if they weren't disguised as real operating systems (because she did figure it out by the time she tried out 93). The problem I find with most of them is they tend to include a lot of copyrighted music and NSFW content not suitable for KZbin. Looking at you, Windows XP Version 19.914. Although keep in mind that Flash no longer exists, so they'd need BlueMaximus Flashpoint to use those.

[@lilalexthe1stofficial]

PodcastFirstTimer Question - Does Diana still follow Fortnite and keep up with it or play it?

[@winelectronic101]

I feel like Fortnite kind of died off in mainstream popularity, kind of like Baldi's Basics.

[@lilalexthe1stofficial]

@winelectronic101 Its still very popular. Espically after releasing OG Chapter 2.

[@LeeLy-tp3wj]

I loved the fortnite episode!

[@someidiot4311]

32:46 that wasn't very nice. anyways, ive been a fan of this channel since around 2017. i forgot what video i watched first, maybe the vista one? anyways, i have a few questions: 1. do you still have the surface pro, and do you still use it? 2. youve probably said this but whats your favorite os?

[@winelectronic101]

Which Vista video are you referring to? There's been a lot of videos based on Vista, Mum Tries out Windows Vista, Dad Tries Out Windows Vista Speech Recognition, and Mum Scams a Scammer with a Funny Windows Vista VM.

[@someidiot4311]

@winelectronic101 mum tries vista, but the speech recognition video was hilarious. I only watched the scam one recently

[@The_Stringbean_cat]

The house one is the "Osfirsttimer mental institute..."

[@RealOvergreen]

Cool to see my comment featured, even if it wasn't read out or answered :P I'd like to ask the same question from the last episode: On the NotebookLM video, I was the person who originally came up with the idea for PodcastFirstTimer. OSDT ended up making it before me, but I'm wondering, if I were to still make my own podcast about OSFirstTimer, would you listen to it (even if you don't make a reaction to it)?

[@EditedYoshi]

I got a question! do you still use a surface pro style type of computer, Phil? or do you even own a laptop anymore?

[@OllieWelsh-og6po]

Am I the only one who is having no issues with the Algodoo video? It plays perfectly on both my smart TV and my phone - audio is in sync the whole video.

[@rg40xs]

It’s not just you, I am also getting no audio desyncs on the Algodoo video.

[@winelectronic101]

Maybe they finally fixed it. Same situation here.

[@RoverMation]

Hello. It’s been an entire hour since I witnessed Diana’s horrific jumpscare, and I am now recovering in hospital after having a terrifying heart attack. I am recovering quickly, but if I get jumpscared again, say in the next video, I may not make it. Lol in all seriousness I certainly did over exaggerate a tad in the comment for sure, I was just rather excited. Thanks for answering my question! I do have another question. As a Canadian, I’m rather intrigued with the temperature of Australia and how hot it is there. I do recall you folks checking out some snow (though in canada what you saw would hardly be called snow lol) for the first time, which made me wonder: What is the coldest, and hottest temperatures you have ever endured? Where were you and what were the circumstances? And finally, have you seen any more snow since your first encounter?

[@winelectronic101]

Iirc Tasmania is the coldest Australian state, but in Sydney, you could expect temperatures up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, it is so hot that the tar melts. In extreme cases, children don't go to school when it gets too hot, like in America if it's too cold or filled with a bad winter storm, schools are closed.

[@dylooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

don't know if it's been asked but my question is will the osft archive series return? really enjoyed those videos

[@icedjelly]

MY QUESTION: Have you ever realized that many people who watch you (me included) grew up watching you? Like OSFirstTimer is a childhood memory, and watching the Sydney to Tasmania trip is a core memory of mine.

[@JibplayzYT]

Yes bro same shi I'm saying

[@JibplayzYT]

NGL we watched Jasmine grow up together, she's like what 14 now?

[@icedjelly]

@JibplayzYT ye exactly

[@winelectronic101]

I follow the same story, as I discovered this channel in 2013 (but I didn't have a channel back then because I was only 13). I actually discovered the channel by accident when I was browsing Windows 8 related videos.

[@j4eni]

35:53 HAHAHA that was unexpected :D

[@LoganProductions141]

Would you ever get a surface pro 11 and make a review on it

[@NatK2010]

44:10 My comment again! Thanks Phil for the comment and nice explanation. I really appreciate your work! One quick question again, is are you going to keep on uploading the Massive Archive Episodes? I used to keep on watching them every day and kept on replaying them once I have ran out of them to watch. I would love to see them again!

[@PowerPuffTubeZ]

Originally what was your first thought before Diana did try out windows 8 way before ?

[@winelectronic101]

At least the Developer Preview had a start button, and you could actually switch back to the Windows 7 start menu.

[@Dantify]

As someone who's met Oscar in person, can definitely say hearing his voice is not annoying!

[@MightyEagle73]

Thanks! Cannot say the same about you ya doofus 😂🤣💯

[@Dantify]

[@jescis0]

My question is: have y'all seen a Tasmanian Devil 😂😂😂😂, seriously though question is what computer did Diana's computer class use?? In my schools we used the Apple //e(2e, it's a style thing)

[@Britneyleaked]

Second! Hope you guys enjoyed that journey!

[@ManfredRoslinger]

43:18 Im featured !!!11! What's Phillip's Hardware?

[@MightyEagle73]

7:25 Funnily enough, at around the time when the video was uploaded, I actually uploaded a real (April Fools) coming-out-of-the-closet video on my channel 😂😂

[@itsjackson1156]

Yay, another one!

[@MightyEagle73]

Question: Most “teenage romances” don’t really last too long. I for one am definitely no stranger to this… I’ve personally witnessed many of my friends go through numerous breakups over the years (or even months). How did Diana and Ben able to make it work for so long? Any tips and tricks?

[@Siniyyy]

Jasmine flipping us off was rude but kinda funny at the same time. anyways- i have a questions for you phil: 1. do you know any episodes that were planned but scrapped due to reasons? 2. will there be even more OSFT Archive episodes? i actually liked watching those series for some reason lmao 3. Will there be more "history of" videos like you did with emojis? 4. are there plans (after the podcast episodes) to make more videos about video games? i loved and always will love diana games through time, i actually bought i think Cities XL 2011 (which is now renamed to Cities XL Platinum on steam) if you do i suggest diana to play Cry of Fear.

[@Siniyyy]

also, nice save with "gyatt"

[@MightyEagle73]

The fact that Diana called me “MichaelEagle” in the Visual Basic video as well 😭😭😭 guess my name is Michael now

[@HexOverride]

hi MichaelEagle :)

[@AlsoMarcus]

Hi!

[@winelectronic101]

Well, I hope you don't get confused with Michael MJD.

[@RandomStuffOLSYS]

Is so sad to see diana cry in the other video on her channel

[@aideno516]

Wow!! Thanks for reading my comment! I was so excited that you were gonna read comments I just quickly said something (which is actually true lol) But I actually first discovered you guys on mum tries out windows 1.0, but not when it was released, maybe around late 2014, I love your videos so much, even the vlog videos, the Tasmania vlog, I cannot stop watching it, and there are so many other videos that just make my day better when i see your guys' videos, another favourite of mine is TerrifiedMum, my favourite video on that channel is the one where she plays watch dogs, that video was really funny for me and I really enjoyed it, I can actually remember watching it back in like 2016, 2017 somewhere like that, you guys are really awesome and you guys really really REALLY deserve more than 100K Subs, my message to you, Diana, Ben and Jazzy is the state positive everyday of your life, and enjoy it until the end ❤ OSFT FOR LIFE!!!

[@winelectronic101]

While my comment wasn't read in the last video, I was shocked at how many of my replies were read out. I remember the TerifiedMum channel, and I kept watching the Portal video over and over, despite the fact that Diana was clearly struggling with the game. I remember someone recommended she try Portal 2 in the future, which I would have to agree that it's much more story driven rather than bland like the first game. But one thing I'm really pushing for is The Stanley Parable. Whether that's the 2011 mod, the 2013 source version, or the 2022 Ultra Deluxe version, I really think they should give it a try, as it's a unique experience in terms of gaming and the way it is executed. I will not tell you what it is about because that would directly spoil the fun of the game. It's best to go into the game not knowing what to expect.

[@cocoafatale]

Can Dianna do a reaction video to massive archive :)

[@TankTheArtist777]

How many chickens do you have in total? And do you have any other birds besides the chickens? I love birds. ❤

[@j4eni]

I was always interested in knowing: How often did it occur (if ever) that Microsoft or any other OS/Software developer contacted you about a video, and what was that mostly about then?

[@winelectronic101]

Apparently Microsoft did at least once, as it's stated in the Mum Tries Out Windows 10 Build 9841 video that the video on Windows 8 helped them do things like add a close button to metro apps in Windows 8.1 Update 1.

[@SocialMaster762]

My questions for the next video: 1. Is there something in particular, that makes Diana stick with Windows? As someone, who seems to mostly use Apple products, I kinda expected her to use a Mac. Would she be willing to try out an actual Mac if she had the opportunity? 2. In "Mum tries out USU Linux", Diana mentioned her mother was Croatian (and she even said "Good morning" in croatian). Can she recall other things, her mother taught her in that language or does she want to learn it herself eventually? Btw, I'd like to say thank you for your work. Your videos are just amazing and very entertaining to watch. I stumbled across it when I was around maybe 12 or 13, when I was on a craze to look for videos about the history of Windows and found your Longhorn video (I'm 25 now). Keep up your good work 👍🫶

[@VicDoesGaming]

35:00 I meant intersecting as in your videos intersect and contains things from other people xP. Probably should’ve worded it a bit differently

[@VicDoesGaming]

Also, you should get Diana to play Minecraft. I think she would enjoy that genre of exploring and having the freedom of doing whatever she wants

[@winelectronic101]

Why not consider rebranding as SoftwareFirstTimer? I feel it makes more sense because you're trying out not just operating systems, but also software, AI tools, and games, all which are basically large categories of software.

[@jaamees]

osfirsttimer name is too iconic

Not a question, but my favourite OSFirstTimer video has to be that first Advanced one where Diana had to edit the teleportation video. That’s like peak OSFT

Question: Would you ever do a sequel to The History of OSFirstTimer, considering that video was made 6 months after the channel was made? (edit if you ever need a game idea then you should get mum to play beamng drive)

Question: how old is jasmine now

[@KoenDoesThings]

44:55 Oh god no thats not what that means. It's cat calling about someone's bottom, and it's really just gross and annoying (but you probably should have got a microphone wind blocker as i call them because youtube wouldn't like the actual name because it did get windy)

[@lightbrownwolf]

40:10 i kind of feel the same way... i just randomly stumbled across the channel one day and became a big fan of it and now i'm in multiple videos of it??

[@homeunshared6]

Just gonna repost my old question here, because I'm still curious: Phil, what was your motivation to keep doing videos? When you made the first Windows 8 video, what kept you going, and, further into the channel, what else was keeping you going? I try to get inspirations for projects all the time, and I never know what to do.

[@Tigran-k8q]

I want you guys to know that your videos have more of an impact than you guys might immediately realize. As a person who struggles to speak his mind and tends to isolate himself, especially given that I had always spent and still spend most of my free time on the computer, your videos are something else. Not only have you positively impacted my outlook on others and myself, but you guys are also a safe space for me. I watch your videos and immediately feel better when I'm feeling down. The way you guys treat each other and others, the way you guys just joke around and have fun; it all just touches my soul. It makes me feel like things are simpler than they seem. The way your emotions are so genuine and transparent almost makes me feel like I'm sharing these humorous moments with you. I appreciate you guys for being around. More than I can express. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys.

[@winelectronic101]

I've always believed the humorous parts of the videos were the best. Keep the comedy show going.

I really liked this one, love how Phill took time looking at comments in this episode! Also a quick question, does Diana still use her yoga 310 from 2017 (i mean i think she upgraded but still curious where it ended up). Anyways, sending hello's from Slovenia🇸🇮!

[@winelectronic101]

That's an interesting question, considering that Windows 11 had those pestering hardware requirements.

[@rohankhatri3226]

Talking about how OSFirstTimer impacted me...I found this channel a VERY long time ago. I immediately fell in love with it, and subscribed. I have watched every single video, even some multiple times. You guys have made me get through some of the most challenging times. You were there when I was admitted in ICU. You were there when I lost my Mum to cardiac arrest a few years ago. You were there when I lost my aunt to the same recently. Diana and Phil, I'll always be thankful and grateful for whatever you've done. Thank you so much. The simplicity, quality and the light heartedness is what makes this channel a perfect watch. Haha, your gaming videos are like Podcasts to me that I hear every morning while going to Uni. Anyways, thanks a lot Diana, Phil, Benj and Jasmine. :)

[@a0d_s]

I am so happy that you guys have a consistant upload schedule again, it brings back so much nostalgia from the good old days when I watched you guys in 2017. I hope the Algodoo video gets fixed aswell because it really is my favourite video and I've rewatched it so many times because it never fails to bring a laugh to my face.

[@Dinesh-XP]

Hi! I found your KZbin channel back in 2012 from a review of elementaryOS as I wanted to try out Linux as a young teen at that time but struggled to understand how the interface worked at the time. Your review helped in opening my mind to the possibilities of Linux. I continued following your channel over the years and had graduated as a Software Engineer. Now, I work as both a Software Engineer and DevOps Engineer; maintaining Linux servers and writing code to support the company's infrastructure. In many ways, your content played a key role in sparking my interest and setting me on the path toward my current career. So a huge thank you to y'all! I've been enjoying the pivot towards exploring AI with an open-minded approach. My question are: 1. What is your stance on the current state of AI and the backlash surrounding it? 2. As well as, a question to Phil, do you regret to be not working in the IT field? or do you find more satisfaction working as a caretaker? 3. Since you're open about your family life on the channel, do you ever worry about privacy, or is it something you’ve found easy to balance?

[@LanTriBlox]

Awww man i was so close. Anyways my question for this PodcastFirstTimer episode i'd like to ask does diana use ai in her daily life a lot? if so on a scale of 1/10 how much and i'd like to know how ai helps her and if its a game changer in her life. I am just grateful you showed my comment in the video and how you have answered loads of my comments in the past.

[@winelectronic101]

I know she uses Copilot from time to time. I wonder how that would play out because I feel the new version of Copilot (the text based version) is garbage compared to the previous version.
