Faulty temperature sensors

[Stephen Partington]

Most sensors are not directly part of the chip they are recording. they
usually are nearby and then there is a calculated offset from what the
sensor displays to make it more accurate. This to me suggests that the
software is applying a second offset or an incorrect one.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
