This morning I am now for the first time seeing a new dash display with the driver visualization box much bigger (see pic), I have not had a software update in a couple of weeks (see version pasted below). Why does my software version say "bad" at the end? What is going on?

(chuckles) The digits at the end are a software checksum value, in hexadecimal (base 16), which includes the digits "a" to "f". It's just that in this case the math caused the last three digits to happen to spell the word "bad". Next time it might spell "cafe" or "beef" (or any other short word you can make with the first 6 letters of the alphabet).
