Hard question. My native language lacks a direct translation of the words, but I interpret the question to mean how my overall liking of a person affects my interactions. I do think about that, perhaps more subconsciously than not. I will go out of my way to help people I feel are competent, share my values or goals, are kind or speak with the right mix of honesty and tact or simply... Have helped me when I needed help. I usually don't perform this calculus consciously though.

I'm not sure if I get the question, but I think the answer is no. In terms of approval of someone, it's a gradient with multiple dimensions. Example: I have a friend whose political views I dislike - but they are not too bad. At the same time I like how he treats his family and friends with care and respect. How I weigh these depends on the context. Over time you could perhaps arrive at a long term approval score, but still not a binary one.

Some LED strips intended for kitchens have a feature where you can place your palm on the strip to turn it on or change the brightness. This sort of thing is usually achieved with backscatter IR, which may also be triggered from water vapor. Try pushing your hand against the ends of the strip to invalidate this hypothesis.
I have never heard of these, need to look em up.
