I've largely abandoned macOS for Linux when it comes to work stuff, but I still have a Windows desktop for games. That said, I've been very impressed by my Steam Deck. Windows 10 will probably be the last version of Windows for me.
Amusing - The statistics from your Department for Transport seem to suggest that you are either an extreme outlier or just entirely wrong[1]! Or maybe this can be attributed to you having some lingering difficulties with kph vs mph?
Hopefully we've both satisfied the urge to be obnoxiously condescending for no reason. Moving right along...
Assuming SPE0111 is what I should be looking at, UK motorway speeds seem very similar to what I've experienced on US interstates.

1. SPE0111 and the "Average free flow speed (mph)" for motorways, from the following:
This is just an anecdote, and I wanted this to be a reply to the OP, but I've always felt there's a weird sort of connection between the stonemasons who built these masterpieces and the hackers of today.
Pushshift.io is pretty close to what you were talking about for Reddit comments; they make their archive available periodically at http://files.pushshift.io/reddit/
As a software developer, the thing I love about the cubesat concept is the presumably reduced iteration time. The idea of waiting for years only to find out something went wrong once the satellite is in orbit seems absurd (sorry, GOES-17).
That said, isn't the whole concept of cubesats tied to the idea that they're not in a geostationary orbit? There's something to be said for the simplicity of "point at this spot in your section of sky and receive data".
I suppose now is a good time for me to look into how to get data from a cubesat fleet.
If you're curious about this, check out Planet Lab's. http://planet.com/
They have a fleet of almost 200 cubesats now, in addition to higher resolution satellites from TerraBella. There's an api that you should be able to experiment with.
Sadly, their time resolution (at least at the free tier) is awful.
Would be quite an interesting challenge to interpolate a large fleet of cubesat's imagery into decent time resolution (the goes satellites regularly do 30 sec time resolution ) over a large geographic area.
edit: The cube sats in the study are only microwave as well, which are compared to the noaa-20 series which arent the correct comparison really.These cubesats would fit in better with the GPM constellation for which global coverage is pretty good, but more coverage would be good. The biggest problem as mentioned is calibration. Accuracy of the dataset over long periods of time is Paramount.
As much as I dislike Northern Virginia, I'll have to disagree with you about Maryland. Chattanooga has municipal broadband, and they even provide service to places within Georgia:
