minus-squareLemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·9 months agoMystery solved. I feel dumb now lol.
minus-squarestinkycheese@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down3·9 months agoThat can’t be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.
minus-squareSchmuppes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·9 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-squarezaphod@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·9 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-squareslazer2au@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 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.
