Yoink needs administrator

Reading or writing a USB stick as a raw disk needs administrator rights on Windows and sudo on macOS. Without that, Yoink can list a drive and still refuse to rip or wipe it.

What to do

1. On Windows, close Yoink and open it again. Approve the administrator prompt.
2. On macOS, run the command with sudo: sudo yoink rip disk4 -o installer.img.
3. If Windows says the operation was cancelled, the prompt was declined. Open Yoink again and approve it.
