When they say not to point your camera at the sun, they are talking about the sun as the main subject, pretty much filling the frame.
We all take photos of the sun all the time. Ever see a photo with a star affect of the sun, say in a landscape. Minimum exposure time sand the sun small in the photo is no problem.

I don’t believe that the sensor on board the camera is affected. We don’t need special filters to protect the film or the sensor. I think the lens (being a magnifying glass) will fry a person’s retina. When burned it is painless because there are no pain receptors on the retina. The damage will be permanent.
A retinal detachment is signaled by a purple hue and can only be repaired surgically.
A good bet is to take good care of your eyes. The are extremely delicate and cannot be replaced like a heart, kidney or the like.

Acoarst such an injury would require an SLR so the problem should soon enough disappear on its own.

I said it CAN damage. Depending on conditions. Length of exposure, time of day, lens used etc. And it can do damage, but normally dose not, because shutter speed is short and sun is small part of image.
Can it go damage, YES. Does it? Not likely. Why do you think it is recommended to use dark filters to photograph eclipses?
Just one of MANY articles that explain how.

I used to have respect for you and your thoughts input. But no more after all your abuse remarks and calling people, basically stupid.

Ive highlighter the portion that is blatant foolishness. I will not repeat the explanation posted earlier. If that equates to calling people stupid, mea culpa, no apologies.

Some time back I heard you should not use your DSLR under high voltage power lines in that such use could damage the camera. I never knew if that was a true statement but have avoided doing so none-the-less.
I went out with my "plastic" bodied Pentax K-30 and took the picture below. You'll notice that I was directly under the high-voltage power iines and there is little chance my K-30's body would interfere with any "radiation". I took several pictures - this was the last one - with no sign of problems, I did have to darken the picture in PP a tad, but no more than normal.

Thank you.
I typically don’t stand under high-voltage lines - I think that I’d be the unlucky guy who would be front page news when a wire happened to come down and electrocute someone, but I thought a ‘visual aid’ would be useful in this case.
