![[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?

Are there any disadvantages of schuko sockets against the French/Belgian/Polish ones? If I ever can afford my own apartment, I would like to install schuko sockets instead of the ones with the pin which are standard in my country.
