Do any fellow old heads remember this U-Perm alg?

I remember around 2008 or so, I first learned beginners' method on a video featured on the Rubik website when it was still internet 2.0 and flash. To this day I still can't find the video that I remembered seeing. I remember that essentially it divided the last layer into cross, then OLL using only sune, then PLL was divided into 2 steps using only R perm for the corners and U perm fo finish. Sometimes you had to do some algs twice or more to get to the intended state. I have not aeen this U perm algorithm anywhere since. I always used to call it the "horseshoe step" when I was a kid.

What should be prioritized when buying a cube?

On speedcubeshop, you always see terms like ”20 magnet ball core” and “dual adjustment system” and it’s all very confusing. I would appreciate experienced cubers ranking different features based on what is most and least valuable in a speedcube. Please include the following features: Magnetic, MagLev, Core Magnets, Ball Core, 20-Magnet Ball Core, Adjustable Magnets, Adjustable Core Magnets UV Coating, Stickerless, Dual Adjustment System, and any others you think of and feel are worth including. Explanations for what each feature does are also much appreciated.

2x2 OH PB (1.46)

I held the red-green block on the bottom left and did U R U R U. Does anyone else do 2x2 OH, and if so, what's your PB?

Problem with 4X4

Im quite new to 4x4's, so sorry if i explain my situtation not to well. I have completed the white cross and all colours are matching correctly. In tutorials ive watched they insert the edge peices with any method, but anyway, in there videos their 2 edge peices are always matching and can easily be inserted, mine are not and are jumbled up, making it impossible to do the 2nd/3rd layers.
