I bought a USB-C (female) to magsafe adapter on eBay. Works great with third party USB-C chargers, regardless of what cable is used (Apple, third party). However, when using Apple's own USB-C charger, I get no power to the magsafe adapter. Does Apple include some of kind authentication or something in their power bricks that prevents it from working with an adapter like this?
