Archer C7 v5
I just flashed from v3.0-r58381 std (09/12/24) to v3.0-r60511 std (03/28/25)

There are about 12 "graphics" flowing down the screen. Each graphic is a question mark with a boarder + o + [ (3 characters total).

When I searched online, I see comments about snow on some other builds, though I am noticing that those are December builds.

Is what I see what other users are referring to as snow?
Or it's something similar that the developer(s) did for fun?

It was snowflakes, but per kp69, we're outside of the winter "window" where the snow is supposed to show up. I've seen the same funky characters show up right after flash on R7800s and MR7350s. After a refresh in the browser, it goes away and doesn't come back - until the next flash. I assume come November/December, the snowflakes will be back.

The issue should be fixed in current releases. And "snow" (or the graphical anomalies) should only show until NTP syncs in older ones pre-fix, just refresh the page. I'm pretty sure that the previous thread(s) wasn't / weren't locked...
