-I have to say mine has been doing it too. I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012). I didn’t notice it until sometime last year with an IOS upgrade. I also somehow lost my rights to my permissions and when I use terminal I get error messages installing node, npm and homebrew. It is so frustrating. I will get Visual Studio Code going, have my class running in a browser and terminal open and it sounds like my computer is going to get up and fly away the fan is so loud. I have reinstalled the operating system. The fan is still running loud and my Macbook is now getting hot to touch. Its my favorite. I like the older version much more than the newer ones. I like have my optical drive and didn’t want to upgrade to have to loose that. I will say talking with my friends in class that Google Chrome pulls a lot. You can see it on activity monitor. I switched to Brave at her suggestion and that does hold the fan off a lot longer. There is so much more running behind Google’s browsers than we know. I am going to try resetting the SMC and PRAM and let you know. I am wondering if its the battery like the one guy stated. I run diagnostics and nothing comes up saying it is wrong.
