[Wayback/Archive] From Meh to WOW – With 1 “Tiny” Hack! – YouTube shows an interesting but convoluted solution to solve temperature drift on a cheap Tuya WT410-BH-3A-W thermostat (there are similar models, see below) based on the replacement sensor [Wayback/Archive] WSEN-TIDS Temperature Sensor IC & EV-Kits | Sensors | Würth Elektronik Product Catalog.
Luckily the commenters stepped in and suggest better and easier ways.
On the other hand, the solution is nice to know as it allows plugging in a remote thermostat that sits in a better place to read the temperature while the control bits stay in a place where it is easier to manually adjust.

Niet verder vertellen, maar mijn vraag “Iemand een alternatief NPO Soul & Jazz-kanaal met zo min mogelijk geklets overdag, en elk uur een nieuwsbulletin?” is op dit moment nog overbodig.
NPO Soul & Jazz is nog steeds on-line, nog steeds met elk uur een nieuwsbulletin. Alleen de gepresenteerde uitzendingen zijn verdwenen. Dat is in bepaalde opzichten een voordeel: minder geklets, ook ‘s avonds.
