Steam console, stop auto-updates

So, while I was looking for ways to stop those auto-updates.. (trivia: there was never a setting, as explained in my new reference)
..I stumbled upon this. What do we now about Steam console?

I tried the method suggested there, but it didn't work.. Though I had never heard of this steam://open/console, seems interesting

btw, I found "Automatic updates" setting is no longer saved where claimed in the previous link, but instead in each game appmanifest_####.acf

The console has some interesting commands, such as ones to list all the subscriptions you have, the config of a game, and downloading individual depots. It can also be used to change some variables within Steam. It's not recommended for the end user to try, as they could bork things, and the commands are not documented with any amount of detail. I remember Steam.cfg from some Steam hacking site a bunch of years ago, and it is actually still used now (for Steamworks developers so they can test their builds).
