Budget core temperature sensor

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any tips for doing heat training core temperature tracking on a budget?

The 200+ euro sensors from CORE are way out of my student budget.

Tips/solutions to find reliable ones are welcome.

Thanks!

Problem with touch screen dead zones on my surface book

Problem:
After 4 years of no usage I booted my old surface book. It took a while to get it to work as the tablet seemed to be so battery drained that I could not charge it through the keyboard and I had to manually remove the tablet from the keyboard first using the bobby pins trick and then charge it. I then got it to work and did not check touch screen and did a fresh windows install.

As seen in the picture attached, my surface book now has dead zones (red rectangles, which are screen wide, not just in the drawing window) on the touch screen for the pen and touch. It also had horizontal rows of multiple ghost touches occasionally and that has not occurred since the things I have tried below. The problem is the dead zones only now.

I tried seeing if it happens in the UEFI and that is not entirely clear due to the lack of things to select or touch in the UEFI and if it actually is the case that it persists then the dead zones seem to be way smaller. But I think it is not happening in the UEFI.

I am glad the ghost touches issue got resolved, but I would like to use my surface for note taking, so the pen working on the complete screen is the most important part.

Anyone have any idea? I hope it is not a sudden hardware issue.

Specs:
Surface book
Windows 10

What I've tried:
Updating drivers
Reinstalling drivers
Updating windows
Complete reinstall windows 10
Surface diagnostics tool
Tried if the issue persisted in the UEFI

Built a small CLI for practicing quant/trading mental math screens and thought it might be useful here:

https://github.com/SpangeWenkies/mental-math-quant-prep-cli

It’s focused on 80-in-8 style practice:

  • multiple choice
  • real mode with 80 questions in 8 minutes
  • fractions/decimals/arithmetic/reverse equations
  • review after each run
  • weak-spot practice based on recent history

It’s unofficial and based on public descriptions / practice formats, so not claiming it matches any firm’s exact test. I mainly made it because I wanted something simple I could run in the terminal instead of using (paid) web practice sites.

If anyone tries it and has ideas for making it better feel free to make a pr!
