Just had to reinstall Chrome after a bout of system problems on Win10. It is only on this board that the text of message posts is in bold. Anyone know what I mis-set or how to fix it?

Can’t help. I thought this would be about something else.

I bought a used truck and it had a chrome ball on a little pedestal glued to the dashboard. No idea what it is.

One of [these](https://www.niteize.com/product/steelie-car-mount-kit.asp), maybe? No idea on the OP.
