Hours on Zoom calls, your spine fusing into the chair. Leftovers beckoning from the fridge for a 10:30 a.m. lunch. Your fitness tracker nagging you to move â just 9,819 more steps till your goal.

VANCOUVER A B.C. woman who bought a second-hand Nintendo Switch for her kids has been granted a partial refund after discovering the device was banned from online services days after the purchase. Nicole Jones took her case to the province s small claims court, which ordered seller Jaime Macdonald to return half of the $380 she paid for the gaming console. Jones told the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal she bought the device through Facebook Marketplace back on March 18, and that her young children were able to use it for about two months without any major issues – until they tried to go online.
