      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

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

          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.

      I’m asking myself why there doesn’t seem to be any ground pins.

        Because the house was built before ground wiring to all sockets was mandatory so I only have 2 wires in each outlet.

          meh. the ground is there for when something goes wrong. seeing as nothing is plugged in and they have safety caps in the sockets nothing should go wrong for some time.

            I was making an apparently too subtle joke about not being grounded as a person, extrapolating from there 😁

            I never said they were used exclusively in Russia. However, it is strange because I don’t think they are allowed in the EU - a grounded plug can be inserted without a ground connection, and the recess is way too shallow. Such sockets may have been allowed by lenient regulations many decades ago but the design seems way too modern.
