By upgrade, do you mean OS upgrade?

I've never had an app frozen through ADB get auto-updated by the Play Store or Google Services and get re-enabled because of it. An app with an update available will even disappear from the Update list if disabled, and in order to update it you have to enable it first.
You can't search for it. You have to open a direct link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.safetycore
Using ADB:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore
If you have Shizuku and aShell/ShizuShell installed, then just run this command in aShell:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore
Alternatively, for a GUI method, setup Shizuku and then use an app like Hail or Ice Box
Reminds me of the recent news that the Pebble Smartwatch founder asked Google for the Pebble OS source code, and Google actually released it.
You can freeze using ADB/Shizuku as well. No root needed.
People have been able to extend the electromagnetic effect to a few feet, but yeah, there's a reason why most just use the close range version we have today.
Here's a demo from 2009: https://youtu.be/MgBYQh4zC2Y
Microwave transmission has also been explored in addition to lasers, as you say, but either way both methods involve power loss in energy conversion, and they both are very directional, making it impractical for consumer use.
But anyway, just wanted to say that the tech technically exists since it's funny when normal people bring it up without knowing the limitations of current technology and physics.
I mean, wireless electricity tech does exist, it just sucks and is horribly inefficient at any reasonable distance.
I mean, maybe? They have 'til April it seems. Time to make yt-dlp work overtime I guess....
Glad I already ripped my Kindle library and started buying elsewhere a while ago. I've been sticking to either DRM free sources now, or DRM rippable sources, and enjoy the piece of mind that I can't be locked out of my purchases or be told what devices I can read them on.
If a fix hasn't made it to Stable yet, then switching to Experimental is the appropriate action to get the game functioning. Just keep in mind that if a ProtonDB review is old but mentions Experimental, then most likely the fix is in Stable by now and switching to Experimental might not be needed anymore. In those cases I'd try the latest Stable first, and then try Experimental if that doesn't work for some reason.
Keeping note of specific Proton versions is more important if someone says that an older Proton version works better than new ones for reasons. Or if they're using a forked version of Proton, like GE-Proton, it's important because that fork explicitly includes things not in normal Proton, like exotic video format support that Valve can't normally include for legal reasons.
Nah, for system stuff that updates via Google Play, it's always been like that. Like Android System Webview for example, if you search Google Play for it you only see the Beta and Developer versions of it. You need a direct link to see the default one included with modern Android.
