The team went all-digital 10 years ago, CBS LA reports<\/a>, and made an exception for Segal over the past decade\u2014for an extra $600<\/a>. This year, however, the team declined to exempt him from the digital-only policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n The LA Dodgers didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment. But the team went all-digital only for season ticket buyers, not for single-game tickets. The paper versions can still be purchased at the stadium, which enabled Segal to recently buy four printed tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n The controversy has sparked debate<\/a> about whether the adoption of new technologies threatens to leave some users behind. “My dad is 82. He can\u2019t figure out apps or buying things online. I help him,” wrote<\/a> one use on Reddit. “I don\u2019t think it\u2019s acceptable for organizations to leave older generations behind.” <\/p>\n Recommended by Our Editors<\/p>\n Some also fear that future technologies will keep baseball fans out. “Man, imagine 20 years from now they might be asking for a retinal scan or you can stay home lol. Somebody in corporate needs to get their head out of their ass,” wrote<\/a> another user. <\/p>\n Others have little sympathy. \u201cCmon, you can operate a cell phone big guy,\u201d wrote<\/a> one user on X. In response, one user shot back: “He shouldn’t have to.”<\/p>\n \n Get Our Best Stories!\n <\/p>\n A Smart, Bold Take on the Wireless World<\/p>\n Sign up for the Fully Mobilized newsletter to get our top mobile stories delivered right to your inbox.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Fully Mobilized newsletter to get our top mobile stories delivered right to your inbox.<\/p>\n \n By clicking Sign Me Up, you confirm you are 16+ and agree to our Terms of Use<\/a> and Privacy Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n Your subscription has been confirmed.

I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I’m currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country’s technology sector.<\/p>\n Since 2020, I’ve covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I’ve combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink’s cellular service. <\/p>\n I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. Earlier this year, the FTC forced Avast<\/a> to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation<\/a> with Motherboard.<\/p>\n I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out<\/a> in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I’m now following how President Trump’s tariffs will affect the industry. I’m always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.<\/p>\n![\"Newsletter](\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/images\/newsletter-envelope.svg\")
