Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Only 1.6° difference that's probably within tolerance especially when it's not calibrated after leaving the factory.
Yeah I have one of these infrared thermometers. The tolerance is within 1°C. They aren't designed for precision but for "is this thing at a temperature that I expect".
That's assuming you've got the emissivity set correctly, too. Can make a huge difference
