In Star Trek: Picard episode 3, there's something that looks like a Square-1. Yeah, that's really the best angle they give of it

Unfortunately the gremlin will never solve that cube. But don't tell him that. He looks quite happy.

Such a good article, except it says Jessica fridrich invented CFOP.Popular Mechanics magazine has a new article entitled, "The Amazing Math Inside the Rubik’s Cube".
Nice pictures and a quick read. More interestingly, we see cubing hitting mainstream media.

I thought Jessica Fridrich did invent CFOP tell me if I'm wrong.

She was one of the inventors, but she wasn't the only one. She definitely was majorly involved, but there were other people involved

No. She just popularized it by publishing it on her website.
She just developed OLL/PLL algs. And while this is major and specifically for CFOP, it is still just a LL method, not CFOP.

yeah I knew other people helped invent it but I thought it was mainly Fridrich
This is one of the reasons I don't like the "CFOP" name.
Nowadays, we use "CFOP" primarily to refer to the cross-then-four-pairs style of solving F2L, together with doing the last layer however (including ZBLL, OLLCP, option select, 1LLL, etc.). However, it seems that the distinguishing feature of CFOP in its early days was that the last layer was solved with OLL and PLL, in contrast to the earlier CFCE method, which also had cross-then-four-pairs, but finished with CLL and ELL.
(Switching the name back to "the Fridrich method" does not fix this problem! I also don't know what a satisfactory solution would be, anyway; feel free to ignore this post.)
