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

Mystery solved. I feel dumb now lol.

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

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 6 points 8 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.

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.
