![[EU] I want to replace an old multi-socket but the majority of the ones sold today don't have this pin? Why is that and does that mean they are not connected to the ground?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/646a06d0-f730-4cd3-9ee6-2b7c66fe3a9f.jpeg){kind=link}
I’ve always known these with pins, or are they replaced by those two tiny plates on the side?

I mean for it to remain flat on its back with its prongs facing upward, with enough support to maintain its position while being stepped on. Having edges on its prongs would inflict more pain, with higher chance of causing real injury.
Basically UK plugs are more superior of you’re a sadomasochist.
