Why do you have 2 different outlets? Different amperage/voltage?

Actually, if you zoom in, you'll see that the third "hole" on the top one is a screw holding the cover in place lol

[-] stinkycheese@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago

That can't be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.

[-] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The screw is recessed, it will never make contact with the plug. Also, the plugs are made of plastic where the screw is located.

As 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.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

very 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.

You won't like the german design then
