No. The stupid-ass law [1]:

> "Internet-enabled device" means a smartphone, tablet, or personal laptop or desktop computer that provides cellular or wireless connectivity, is capable of connecting to the Internet, runs an operating system, and is capable of downloading and running applications.

Enumerate all network interfaces. Are any of them cellular or wireless? No? Then the law doesn’t apply.

Finally, my insistence on wired Ethernet pays off.

It sounds like you could even get away with a wireless USB dongle, as it’s not part of the computer.
