minus-square@Viking_Hippielink7•8 months agoActually, if you zoom in, you’ll see that the third “hole” on the top one is a screw holding the cover in place lol
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-1•8 months agoThat can’t be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.
minus-square@Schmuppeslink7•8 months agoThe screw is recessed, it will never make contact with the plug. Also, the plugs are made of plastic where the screw is located.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•8 months agoAs long as it’s grounded it’s fine. I’d be more concerned about someone plugging in a device that needs grounding into a socket like that.
minus-squareslazer2auOPlinkEnglish1•8 months agovery few things need grounding. Plus I have no ground wire to the outlet so i would argue it is safer to not have the grounding socket there.
